Behind The Lens

Location

"No Fear" was taken in Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, Africa

Time

The photo was taken at 8am on 6/23/10.

Lighting

The lighting was overcast. With the light color of the lion and grass, the lighting proved to work well for the photograph.

Equipment

A Canon EOS 40D and EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM were used to take this photo. The camera was mounted on a Manfrotto monopod for added support.

Inspiration

I always wanted an image of a lion in the wild. This was the second day of the safari. Once I saw her there was not much more inspiration needed.

Editing

The image was processed using Photoshop Elements. Cropping, lighting adjustments and sharpening were done on this image.

In my camera bag

I shoot with Canon equipment. I still use the EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM. I have since purchased a EF 600mm f/4 L IS USM for wildlife photography.

Feedback

Not everyone will have the chance to go to Africa. My advice is general as it relates to wildlife photography. 1 - know your gear 2 - understand exposure 3 - understanding lighting and angle of light 4 - understand your subject 5 - be patient 6 - respect your subject
