Behind The Lens

Location

I took the photo at the Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Missouri

Time

It was just after noon. Between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m.

Lighting

It was a party sunny, but a rain storm was moving in. I was bright enough for a good clear shot.

Equipment

I used by Nikon Z6ii and Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens

Inspiration

I wanted to get some zoo animal pictures and I love tigers. The last time I went the tiger was too far off for a good shot. This time around it was moving around and found this tall grass to play with. It started rubbing it's head in it and then rolled around with it.

Editing

I cropped and straightened the picture. I also adjusted the brightness and contrast.

In my camera bag

Nikon Z6ii Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

Feedback

Have patience, especially when trying to capture animals. Sometimes you won't get the shot and you may have to come back another time.
