Behind The Lens
Location
The photograph was taken at Whipsnade Zoo, Bedfordshire. The site has extensive parkland allowing superb settings for photographersTime
The image was taken about 14.40hrsLighting
Normal autumnal day generally overcastEquipment
I use two Nikons, this particular image was with my D5500 and 70-300mm Nikon lens. No flash and handheldInspiration
The Penguins were being very vocal, this one in particular, I waited until the penguin was giving a full callEditing
Only post processing involved slight croppingIn my camera bag
For a visit of this nature I would carry both Nikon D5300 and D5500, with a Nikon 18-140, 70-300 and Sigma 150-500mm. Together with a monopod, spare battery, Colin Filter to include polarising, lens hoodsFeedback
Take time to select and frame the image allowing possible cropping, consider any backlighting and possibly locking the exposure/focus if the subject is stationary.
