Location

The photo was taken on a game drive during a trip to Kenya in the Masai Mara, July 2019

Time

If I recall it was approx. 10am

Lighting

There was an interesting haze to the sky. I believe that day this was prior to a soft rain. Not a lot of contrast like most of the days in the Masai Mara.

Equipment

This was shot with my Nikon D3200 with AF-S Nikki 55-200mm 1:4-5.6G

Inspiration

It was amazing to me to see so many of these interesting creatures together. What inspired me was the coloration of the lighting that day. They looked like a painting with the pale blue/gray of the sky and the beige of the grasses with the charcoal of the beast. Although I have a degree in Photography from the days of film. I haven’t shot in years. This trip reignited my passion and I’ve been shooting twice a week since.

Editing

Surprisingly there was very little post processing needed. The lighting that day was quite interesting. I just had to increase the contrast slightly. No other adjustments.

In my camera bag

Nikon D3200 w/55-200mm & 50-80mm.

Feedback

This particular image I realized how to look at the group as a whole image instead of individualizing them in photographs.
