Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the forests of Tadoba, India.

Time

The photo was taken in the evening. Safaris in India are usually in the morning and evenings.

Lighting

The tigress was sitting with her cubs in the shade, so when she got up and came forward, she came into a spot with a little light.

Equipment

The photo was taken with the Nikon Z7 and a Nikkor 600mm F/4 lens. I usually place the setup on a beanbag on the jeep for stability.

Inspiration

I love photographing wildlife and tigers are always charming.

Editing

As compared to most of my photos, here I have done a little more post processing, i have crushed the black slightly in the shadow region of the photo to make the tiger pop.

In my camera bag

I usually travel with my trustee low light workhorses the Nikon D4s and the NikonZ7. As for lenses I keep the AF-S Nikkor 600mm F4/G VR, this has been my most used wildlife lens, along with this is a zoom Nikkor 200-500mm and a Nikkor 24-70mm for landscape and wide shots. I also rent the Nikkor 105mm VR Macro lens along with a Nikon Speedlight for macro photography and a Tokina 16-28mm F2.8 for landscape photography if required.

Feedback

Wildlife is all about patience, the more you have the better your results.
