Behind The Lens

Location

I took thus photo on a drive through Rietvlei Nature Reserve in Gauteng South Africa

Time

It was taken roughly around midday as they were walking next to the dirt road we were on

Lighting

It was rather cloudy, but at that moment there was a break in the clouds which gave wonderful lighting at that moment

Equipment

Nikon D5300, 18-105mm lens

Inspiration

It was such a tender moment between mother and child

Editing

I just enchanced tge clarity and did a slight adjustment to the exposure

In my camera bag

I always take my Nikon D5300 with 70-300mm lens and my Nikon D3100 with 18-105mm lens as well as my tripod for nature shoots

Feedback

Be patient as the right moment will come your way. There is no reason to rush
