Location
I took this photo at the Fort Worth Zoo in early spring.Time
It was getting close to high noon.Lighting
Harsh light and shadow all around given the trees and noon sun on a clear day.Equipment
Canon Rebel T5 and a 70-300 kit lens.Inspiration
I am obsessed with all things animals and frequent the zoo often!Editing
Not terribly much, I enhanced some clarity and contrast but most was done in camera.In my camera bag
My trusty old Rebel, a couple of kit lenses (18-55 and 70-300), a 24, and a 50.Feedback
Be patient, and try to think out of the box. The right moment will come. Don’t hesitate to take several photos from several different angles. When dealing with harsh lighting stop down your exposure to avoid over exposing and don’t be afraid of creating shadows or blackness by doing that.
