Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at the Triple D Ranch in Kalispell, Montana.

Time

This was in the middle of the day.

Lighting

It was gray and overcast sunlight.

Equipment

Nikon D810 camera with a 70 to 200 Zoom lens.

Inspiration

I have always wanted to take photos of wild animals, and this was an opportunity to picture them against a white background.

Editing

Photos were sorted with Camera Bits, Photo Mechanic. then processed with DXO Photo Lab using their amazing Raw Denoise and sharpening settings. This allowed using f8 at 1,000 second and ISO 1600.

In my camera bag

50 mm, 20-70 zoom, 70-200 zoom, and 200-500 zoom

Feedback

Take a photo trip with an experienced photographer.
