Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a trip to Nagano. We had the privilege of seeing a Snow Monkey habitat which included a hot spring to watch them bathe.

Time

taken during the middle of the day as the snow started to fall

Lighting

lighting was actually gray in this photo because of the snow coming down.

Equipment

nikond850. 70-200 f2.8

Inspiration

seeing how the mother and child interacted with each other and how they were looking around.

Editing

yes, some lightroom fixes and small cropping.

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Nikon d850. 24-70 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8, 16-35 f4 and a Velbon tripod while I was in Japan.

Feedback

Don't be so quick to just snap a photo and look away when it comes to animals. keep the lens on them and you can see how interesting and unique they are.
