Location
The photo of the climbing bear was taken at the "no mans land" between Finland and Russia.Time
Taken late in the evening, there was issues and possibilities with shooting almost against the sinking sunLighting
As the evening sun came in from almost front on, I had to compensate the exposure for both highlight and shadows, I chose to overexpose the picture to get some details in the bears furEquipment
The picture is taken with an Canon EOS 5 DS-R and EF 70-200mm @ 200 mm. In the shed I used a sturdy ballhead mounted on the interior of the shed. 1/500 sec - f/5,6 - Iso 200Inspiration
Nature an big mammals is my inspirationEditing
All my pictures get a treat in Lightroom. On this particular picture, I reduced the highlights and opened up the shadowsIn my camera bag
For this kind of pictures i bring 2-3 bodys and a section og tele lenses. I will normally bring EOS 5 Mk III, EOS 5 DSR, EOS 1 DS mk II, EF 16-35 f/2,8, EF 28-70 f/2,8, EF 70-200 f/2,8, 1,4 and 2x converter, Sigma 150-600 Sport edition and tripod/monopodFeedback
Patience, patience, patience. A good research at home, to find out where the best possibilities got catch your "prey" is essential.
