An opportunity shot. Parked on the side of a country road in rural Victoria, Australia.

This young bull has a very quiet nature. Always loves the attention and great for photos, unless grain is put in a bucket!

Location

I took this photo on the farm in the dairy yard. Her own choice of side of platform, prior milking which provided the angle of her facing toward the light with the shading of the roof cover in the background.

Time

This photo was taken in late Spring with the intensity of the sun being quite mild at 8.45am

Lighting

It was in the morning and under cover but plenty of natural lighting coming in on Ellie's face as well as from skylights. Her face was highlighted perfectly.

Equipment

HTC 10 mobile phone. I won't be put off by the best camera options available when given the choice in purchasing.

Inspiration

I love my cows and have grown up with them as they are the main focus on the farm. They're all individuals, character & mannerisms.

Editing

Adjustments to contrast and slight structure for definition.

In my camera bag

I have to say that this image was taken with my HTC Mobile phone. Being at work it was the safest piece of equipment. I always treasure my camera more than my actual phone and it is how I have always chosen which brand.

Feedback

Knowing the animal/s to be intended to capture. Their mannerisms, while not always totally predictable helps a lot.
