Location
I made this photo on a one unique photographic event with my friends in the Czech Republic. This young female tiger is an animal in human care under the guidance of an experienced breeder of beasts.Time
This photo was taken on 12 January 2018 at 10:05. My intention was to photograph a tiger from a frog perspective.Lighting
It was late morning and low continuous cloudiness. The sun was hidden behind the clouds, and I was lucky to have a nice diffused light that was reflected from the black white snow. Therefore are visible no dark shadows and the snow has no highlights and unwanted reflections.Equipment
This photo was shot on a Nikon D5, with a lens Nikkor 200 mm f/2.0. I used ISO 640, aperture f/2 and shutter speed 1/3200. I photographed handheld without using a tripod.Inspiration
Our intention was to photograph a tiger in wintertime in a typical habitat.Editing
I used only minimal adjustments in original editing software from Nikon - only Nikon Capture NX-D. Here I just slightly modified brightness, contrast, clarity and saturation.In my camera bag
The contents of my robust Tamrac bag is primarily a powerful digital camera that I can rely on in every weather. Now I'm normally using the body Nikon D5 and the backup body Nikon D850. I normally wear Nikkor lenses 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8. These "workers" have always been with me. On the "macro" action I take the excellent old micro lens Nikkor 200 f/4 or micro lens 105 f/2,8. For animals and birds photography I need to pack "heavier weight" - I'm using the lens Nikkor 400 f/2.8 and now also a new lens Nikkor 200 f/2 lens. The last two months I test the new mirrorless Nikon Z7 with my fast lenses.Feedback
When it comes to photographing the endangered animal species, I recommend the form of "assisted (arranged) photography". It's about photographing a species of wild animal that is in human care. The animal is tame, working well with it, and it is especially safe for humans. Most importantly, the photographer does not disturb wild animals in their natural biotope. Today there is a trend commercial group photographic expeditions to exotic countries. From the yield is funded the rescue of endangered animal species. But too frequent visits of groups of people in animal biotopes are very disturbing and stressful for endangered animals and their food chain. These expeditions can become very destructive for small animal populations and, instead of rescuing animals, can speed their extinction. We all photographers have to think, whether our money really helps those animals.
