Behind The Lens

Location

At the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino, California. It's a California fence lizard.

Time

It was taken in early afternoon

Lighting

Nope, just beautiful California sunshine. I love the quality of light in Southern California where I live.

Equipment

Camera was just my Sony with Zeiss lens and no other equipment. I rarely use anything but a tripod and the only manipulation I ever use is cropping. This wasn't cropped. My training is pre-digital so I'm old school and hate the manipulation of images

Inspiration

My degree is as a Naturalist and one of my minors is Photography. So I love being out in the natural world. This guy was practicing his model poses.

Editing

No, never

In my camera bag

A monopod and a ton of backup batteries and a lens cloth.

Feedback

Patience, Patience, Patience. And learn to hold your breath.
