Behind The Lens

Location

I took this shot in the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise national park, Italy.

Time

Morning, we were hiking through the beechwood in order to reach the aerea where you could find apennine chamois.

Lighting

Not the best time of the day but since it was winter the light was quite soft anyway.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D500 with a Tampon 18-270 mm, a lens which I have used for a while while hiking to be ready for any unexpected situation, a lucky encounter in the beechwood (like this one), a nice panorama or animals and details in the distance. Shot by hand, with everything else stored in my F-Stop backpack.

Inspiration

Like I wrote above, in this occasion it has just been a lucky encounter. Even if foxes are one of my favorite inhabitants of the woods, this time I was looking for chamois...

Editing

Yes, but not so much. Just minor retouching in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

To be honest I am not so passionate about the last available technology... I use a Nikon D500 with a Nikkor 16-80 mm to be always ready. I usually bring also a Tamron 10-24 mm and, for wildlife, a Sigma sport 150-600 mm. Manfrotto tripods and F-stop backpack.

Feedback

In this case it has been a lucky encounter so what I can suggest is to be always ready for shooting. Many photographers, while hiking to reach the programmed location, keep all their staff in the backpack. It is far more comfortable, for sure, but I prefer to be always ready and keep all the time my hand on the camera, with an aperture priority setting and a lens which allows me to take good photos in different situations, like the Nikkor 16-80 F 2.8. And then, once I reach the programmed location or subject, I take my time to prepare the tripod and a more specific lens.
