Behind The Lens

Location

Photograph was taken while visiting a wildlife sanctuary.

Time

Mid-Afternoon, Natural Light.

Lighting

I have found Direct sunlight is the best lighting. I have learned two things across my photography journeys, always try to focus on the subject, and expose for the background. when you get these two things in-line, Editing is sometimes nothing more than minor corrections and Your watermark.

Equipment

Nikon D3300, with 55-300mm lens

Inspiration

my love for any & all animals, and the personalities they have.

Editing

lite editing in post.

In my camera bag

Have recently upgraded my equipment, mostly just carry Camera and a Telephoto lens, along with a shorter lens, never leave home without a tri-pod footed shoot stick.

Feedback

Remember with wild nature don't make sudden movements, if you can capture them great if not, it's okay. biggest thing to remember, they use their sight, smell, and hearing as well as the surroundings, to their advantage. Always, be patient and move slowly, become one with them, just don't try and get to close. Study and watch to see how they react to noises around them before trying to capture their photograph. Understanding how and why they react the way they do is the key.
