Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken while on tiger safari in India -- Tadoba National Reserve.

Time

This image was taken sometime in the morning -- safari begins at 6 a.m.

Lighting

Being early morning the lighting was soft/ideal.

Equipment

My camera of choice is a Nikon d810.

Inspiration

The obvious beauty of the deer and background. I was fortunate enough with the pose it struck.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

Two lenses -- one for most shots and the other for portraits. I also have a number of filters to add color when appropriate and for black & white photos.

Feedback

Photographing wildlife always involves a degree of luck -- catching beautiful, charismatic creatures in the right pose with the right background. Get out into the wild as much as possible and exercise patience and perseverance. Truly good/unique wildlife images are rare, but when they do happen they're very special, memorable.
