Location
I took this photo at the Ramat Gan Safari in Israel, which is home to the largest collection of animals in the Middle East. Arranged as a 250 acre African Safari Park, unique in the world as the African animals who live here are able to roam around the park, and visitors are able to have an African safari experience, just minutes from the center of downtown Tel Aviv.Time
Morning, at about 9am, after the pack has finished their feeding.Lighting
low sun light was amazing in that December morning and clouds gave the perfect distribution of light, like a huge softbox in the sky.Equipment
I used my (now old) Canon 400D camera to 1/320 @ f/5.6 and ISO 100 to get a sharp picture along with the beautiful green shallow background that I imagined was their throne as they look down to watch over their pride.Inspiration
The family of lions in the safari is the biggest attraction so I watched as these incredible lions were relaxing just after their feeding I saw the son approaching his father, he sat next to him as a mirror image.Editing
Just a small amount of level correction in Adobe Lightroom.In my camera bag
I now walk around with a Canon 7D and the 24-105 f/4 L I also have in my bag the 10-22mm, the 75-300mm and the 100mm Macro .Feedback
As you know it takes patience and a lot of luck in wildlife photography, and I felt so lucky to be at that moment to capture these majestic creatures. To capture these kind of images you should do your homework and know when the animals are active during the day, when they are being fed, what are their habits and so on.. Also be very patient, but alert - you can never know when a perfect moment will present itself, think of your composition beforehand and measure the light for the best exposure.
