Location
Taken at the Denver Zoo around 1985 on Kodachrome 64 film, using a Vivitar Series I 600 mm solid catadioptric lens.Time
Probably in winter, early afternoon. I was taking classes at the community college in downtown Denver and would sometimes go to the zoo between classes.Lighting
Afternoon winter light.Equipment
Canon A-1 with 600mm mirror lens. The Vivitar solid cat lens were about 3 1/4 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide and very heavy.Inspiration
Animals tend to be more active and alert in colder weather when there are less people.Editing
Scanned the slide, post processed in Lightroom.In my camera bag
Back then, two Canon A-1 bodies, 28mm Canon FD and 70-210 mm Series 1 zoom.Feedback
Using a big telephoto lens, will often blur out any fencing between you and subject if you are close to it.
