Location
The photo was taken in the Mountain Zebra National Park near Cradock in the Eastern Cape.Time
The photo was taken at midday. The mountain zebra was standing in a clearing with "muddy socks" that caught my attention.Lighting
The shutter speed must be very high because it is the middle of the day and overexposure can reduce the quality of the photo.Equipment
I used a Nikon D5500 for the photo with a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 55-300 mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED lens.Inspiration
The idea of "the innocence of a child that played in the mud".Editing
I sharpened the photo to contrast the white and black standing out better and let the "muddy socks" stand out better.In my camera bag
I now normally have a Nikon D850 in my bag and a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200 - 500 mm f/5.6E ED VRFeedback
Look for a specific "personality" to capture.
