Behind The Lens

Location

The Zoo of NW Florida (now called the Gulf Breeze Zoo)

Time

It was taken mid-afternoon.

Lighting

The natural lighting on that sunny day, was perfect for showing off that cute face.

Equipment

HP Photosmart C945, handheld, no flash or tripod used

Inspiration

The mother and baby hippo were swimming together and he just looked too cute, not to take the shot.

Editing

The only thing I did was to crop the photo to highlight the baby's face better.

In my camera bag

This photo was taken in 2009, at that time I only carried extra batteries.

Feedback

Patience is key.
