Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken when I went to the zoo in Rhenen (The Netherlands) with my little granddaughter.

Time

It was a beautiful sunny day and it was just before lunch that I took this photo.

Lighting

Thanks to the bright sunny day in August, the sun was on her highest point, providing me with all the light that I needed, giving a nice glance on the fur of the playing bear.

Equipment

My old Olympus C740UZ.

Inspiration

Seeing a bear playing in the water with a big tree branch, is all I need to start clicking.
