Banana Slug at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, Santa Cruz, CA

Last year, I took a photo workshop with acclaimed National Geographic Photographer Frans Lanting at his Santa Cruz, California studio. We went on a variety of field trips around the area to learn how he composes shots. It was definitely an awesome workshop where I learned a ton about composition, lighting, and camera techniques. I took this photo in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park on a walk with Frans and the rest of the group. He actually held the reflector for me. For a handheld shot with no flash, it turned out great. It was one of my favorite photos from the workshop especially because I had one of the worlds best wildlife photographers helping me grab the shot.

Shot handheld with A7RIII and Sigma 70mm Art Macro lit with natural light bounced by reflector.

Nice work, actually I just posted asking for thoughts and examples of this lens, I really like the rendering acuity and OOF areas
