Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken at home a few days after I adopted my cat. I never tries animal photography before, and was thrilled about this new experience and took several pictures of my kitten.

Time

It was in the end of the afternoon and the sun was starting to set, so the lighting was perfect.

Lighting

I used only natural light from the sun. It was about to set so it provided a good lighting without unwanted shadows.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D5200 and 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Auto Focus-S DX NIKKOR lens.

Inspiration

What inspired me was my new pet and the experience of photographing animals that was new to me.

Editing

Yes. I used Luminar 3 to improve the colors and contrast.

In my camera bag

I usually take my Nikon D5200, 18-55mm Nikkor lens, 35mm Nikkor lens, and 70-300mm Sigma lens. I also have a tripod and some filters.

Feedback

Enjoy the moment and be patient with your pets. You can have a great time and end up with wonderful pictures. Also look for the times of the day that will provide good lighting.
