Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Aboriduim in my town in a small creek there.

Time

This was about 4 pm In the afternoon. just Before Evening.

Lighting

I had been chatting to his mother before she gave birth to this little beauty which I also have a photo of on Viewbug she was nearby. I just had come around the corner on a path and there she was, where I had chatted with her there on a few occasions. I felt like she was showing off her newborn to me. I told her that, her fawn was beautiful and that she must be proud. I lived on a farm so I learned to talk to animals growing up. I took photos of mom and fawn for about twenty minutes. Then they were on their way. I met them often after that and the little one would run to me on occasion to chat for a short few minutes while mom watched us. In the spring I met the fawn again it stood and chatted with me as I came around another corner for a few minutes, it did not run so I knew that it was the one. I also have that photo of it on Viewbug. What a Joy it has been getting to know them.

Equipment

I had My Panasonic DNC-G7 HD lens 45-150 on a stick tripod. no flash.

Inspiration

I Love Gods Creation! I am In the wonder of the amazing things He has created. Many people see just a pond or an animal I see His artistic hand in Creation. I see art even in simple things. I believe it is a gift from Him. I had prayed and asked to see what He sees. I see his Goodness and Love in every Created Thing,

Editing

I go with a prayer to start I feel very close to my God when I'm in creation-nature. I believe he blesses this in my photos. He shows me things I never knew before. I relax and enjoy the blessings I see even the simplest things. . My camera is ready to go always on auto to start for the moment like this little guy and his mom, I never know how much time I will have. If I have more time I work with the camera as I experiment in manual

In my camera bag

I always have my camera charged and extra batteries also lens wipes. I take two tripods a stick and a regular tripod. I have a tripod for my phone also. And I take a glass ball I love experimenting with it.

Feedback

No Fear! Relax And Enjoy The Moment. Experiment And Try To See The Art In What You Capture, You Will Be Amazed At What You Find And How Much Joy It Will Give You! God Bless!
