Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken in Tapada de Mafra National Game Reserve, some 30 km from Lisbon, PortugalTime
Suppose, It was late morning..Lighting
Just natural light.. when I saw the sunrays coming between the leaves, I realized that I can get good bokeh)Equipment
No tripod this time. Canon 5D mark 2 and Canon 70 -200 f/2.8 lensesInspiration
This Game reserve is a magical place! I was lucky enough to live right there and I got up at 6:30 and started walking with a camera in search of deers,wild boars, etc... occasionally I got the barn owl !Editing
Not much. Some clarity, sharpness, vignetting.. the eyes were too dark - I had to fix it...In my camera bag
Canon 5 D mark 2, canon lenses 16-35, 24-100 (kit lenses ) canon 50 mm fix f/1.2, canon 70 -200 f/2.8, flash, Gitzo tripod... additional battery.. Thanks god I have a car...)Feedback
I wish all patience and good light !
