I created this image at Yellowstone Bear World in Rexburg, Idaho. This was in July, and this little fawn was sound asleep under a tree in the petting zoo.Time
I loved this little fawn, even with all the kids making noise she was sound asleep. It was almost noon on a July day, and she had found a great spot with lots of cool shade in the far edges of the petting zoo portion of the park.Lighting
I tried to edit out the shade but it appeared over processed so I ended up owning all the dappling effect that was created.Equipment
I made this image with the Canon EOS Rebel SL1, Sigma lens no tripod nor flash. post processing done with Skylum softwareInspiration
I love to take wildlife images. The park is a great place for me to create images without interfering with any "wild" animals. When I go to a wildlife rescue park I try to keep an open mind on what I will be taking pictures of. I never know what animals will be active and ready for pictures to be taken.Editing
I did the minimum post-processing from RAW in Luminar. I strive to keep the images I create as close to what I saw as I can.In my camera bag
I have learned to travel as light as I can. I have learned and grown since I created "Sound Sleeper", so my bag has changed. I carry my Canon 90D, my go to Tamron 18-400mm, a sturdy travel tripod, a few microfiber rags, snacks, a multitool, charged batteries and extra memory. My favorite bag is the Think Tank Photocross 13.Feedback
Using a wildlife rescue park is a great way to practice getting images of wild animals. They are slightly contained and you can work through your excitement of the first time. Once you have your images from the park you will be more prepared for the animals out in the wild.
