Behind The Lens

Location

In Tortuguero, Costa Rica

Time

In the afternoon

Lighting

Just natural lighting, overcast day

Equipment

Canon 5D mk III with EF100-400 at 310 mm. Iso 800. Taken handhold from a small boat

Inspiration

The fantastic colors of the Basilisk with its wonderfull yellow eyes.

Editing

In Lightroom I saturated the colors and added sharpening. Removed some sensor spots.

In my camera bag

Always my Canon 5D mark III or DS with my favorite L lenses 70-200 F2.8, 16-35F4 and 100 mm Macro

Feedback

Have lots of time exploring the area, and of cause to be in the morning and afternoon hours where the light is at its best.
