Behind The Lens

Location

I invited a group called Zoo-To-You to bring a number of small slow critters to my camera club for a workshop. I set up eight shooting tables with props of sand driftwood and backgrounds. I set up flash units for each station. The company had one critter handler for each station.

Time

This was set up for an afternoon workshop. I set it up for 40 members with a rotation between the eight tables and different critters at every station. Every station had a different radio transmitter and flash controlled by the user. The critter handlers were great if an animal got tired or too rambunctious they would switch them out with a different critter. The company brought over fifty small subjects. Everything from bugs, rodents, frogs, and snakes.

Lighting

I set up each station with two lights and used umbrellas because the animals would not always be in the center of the tables and shooting areas. I set up the flashes to get F 11. I used a number of different strobes owned by the club members or me.

Equipment

This was a camera club event and I requested members bring tripods and either a macro lens or medium zoom lens. I told them in advance that snakes and small aggressive critters would be the subjects.

Inspiration

I did not have very much time to photograph the critters because I was running the event. When I saw the Sugar Glider I popped in between rotations and took a few images. I used my 90mm Tamron lens and filled the frame with the subject.

Editing

I photograph in raw and use photoshop raw converter to workflow my images. I did very little to this image crop sharpen vignette.

In my camera bag

I have Nikon cameras D750 D850 and D7100. For lenses a variety on Nikon and Tamron everything from 90mm macro to 150-600 zoom. This was a camera club workshop so I had to prepare for a variety of camera skill levels and lenses.

Feedback

I love photographing a variety of critters and try to set up a posing prop for them so that they are comfortable and isolated from mergers and clutter. With critters or pet photography patients is important.
