Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Botswana in Okavango delta in autumn 2018

Time

This picture is from the morning when we met 2 male lions wondering around together.

Lighting

Since it was in the morning the light was still ok and not sharp.

Equipment

Canon camera and lense, no tripod, no flash, the picture was taken from a car

Inspiration

I always wanted to have a frontal photo of big wild lion male from the eye level in a good light

Editing

Not much of post-process - just white balance and adding a bit of clarity

In my camera bag

Camera, various lenses, cleaning equipment, extenders etc.

Feedback

The light is very important in Africa, since it is usually a lot of sun light, thus the best time for photography there is early morning and late afternoon, evening. You also need a good tracker to find the animals.
