Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone MT.Time
The shot was taken mid -dayLighting
During heavy snowfall and mid-day, the overcast made for softer light and I feel helped with D.o.F. to help make the wire fencing vanish into the falling snowEquipment
I shot this I believe with my Canon EOS Kiss 300D and an 80-400mm lens from Tokina. hand held without activating flash for movement in the falling snow.Inspiration
I loved the look on the Grizzly bears face as we made eye contact through the saucer sized flakes fallingEditing
I edit all my photos through Adobe elements for light adjustments and copy write signing and cropping , , ,In my camera bag
I now carry a Canon EOS Rebel XSi with the Tonika 80-400 and an 150-500mm from Sigma, , ,I also carry a Canon PowerShot SX50HS for quick point and shoot, , ,Along with a Nikon P510 and a Nikon P900 for wide frame work and some portraits work.Feedback
Sure, Always carry a camera and be ready to use what ever nature gives you as a challenge such as low light conditions to your advantage, creativity and thinking outside the box can give big gains. open or close your aperture a bit and breath,, , ,shoot, never be afraid to try something new and be ready for pleasant outcomes. Photographing nature is not always in perfect conditions such as great light and blue skies, Capturing a subject in adverse conditions such as rain, snow or heavy winds can often add a degree of life to the old adage "Light,Color and Mood" try to use the natural elements to your advantage Above all, enjoy what you shoot and look for new ways to capture it !
