Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Redding California.

Time

Mid afternoon when the sun was almost overhead.

Lighting

Lighting was direct overhead sun.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D850 with the Nikon 200-500mm lens

Inspiration

Seeing the snail in the open and not really moving I knew I had time to take a few close up shots.

Editing

Only a little shadow and saturation adjustments.

In my camera bag

I always have extra batteries, memory cards and a couple lenses.

Feedback

Patients is really key. Don’t try to force a shot. Just let it happen.
