Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a natural park in Spain where differents animals live in a near 2000 acres space. They work hard for conservation of endangered species.

Time

I bought a ticket for go with the keepers and has a close visit with the elephants and I fall in love of Luena, the little elephant. She was very nice and and try to capt my attention. She want play with my hair and it was magic... and a bit dangerous cause is very strong. It was a short visit (only 30 minutes) but I never forgot it.

Lighting

I couldn't prepare the light, because it was a simple walk, but the natural light was very good. It would be 9:00 in a summer spanish's morning, so there was a lot of light.

Equipment

Only camera. Without tripod or flash. I don't like flash, especially with animals, and I can't use a tripod inside the enclosure.

Inspiration

Her tongue. I never see a elephant's tongue before this day and when she try to call me I thought it was a very cute, funny and tender memento has a crazy funny photo of that.

Editing

No. I think the photo is nice and prefer a raw.

In my camera bag

Only my old smartphone, but sometimes a friend give me a Canon M50 and I have a analogic cámera. I hope have my own digital camera soon.

Feedback

Enjoy the moment. I think that if I was thinking in taking the photo, I never capture it.
