Location
This was taken at the Bronx Zoo, the Bronx, New York CityTime
Afternoon on a partly cloudy dayLighting
Time of day is critical when shooting available light. For me, mid-day is not the best for a zoo shootEquipment
Nikon D5100 camera with a 28-85mm zoom hand-heldInspiration
I visited the zoo with a definitive plan to shoot resident portraitsEditing
Editing included a crop and processing to increase contrastIn my camera bag
For this fun shoot I had only my camera.Feedback
When shooting available light, pre-plan for time of day and weather (if possible). Every zoo is laid out differently, so research is an important issue.
