Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken At the Masai Mara conservancy in Kenya

Time

This image was captured in the late afternoon. We had been in the vehicle the entire day watching river crossings at the migration and stumbled accords this lioness and her cubs on the way back to camp

Lighting

All natural light as it was taking in the wild

Equipment

Image was captured with the Canon 600D and the 100-400 lense

Inspiration

We are always looking for great shots capturing the magic of wildlife

Editing

This required minimal post processing - just some sharpening up in Lightroom

In my camera bag

Right now I have my 7D mkii, always 50mm 1.4, and the 18-200 canon lense.

Feedback

The best advise is patience. You never know when something magnificent will pop up in the wild. The golden hour is always best to go out, but nature never sleeps.
