Masai Mara National Reserve in KenyaTime
Just before we had breakfast out on the plain.Lighting
It was a cloudless day but bright dayEquipment
Nikon D3200 with a 55mm lens. We were about 10 feet away from these two Cheetahs when I shot my photo. Originally was using a 200mm lens but was too close for the right effect.Inspiration
Just the beauty of the Cheetah. Such a majestic animal. He looks like speed just by looking at him.Editing
Other than adjusting some contrast the picture is as shot.In my camera bag
Back then I had a Nikon D3200 with about 4 lens. Now I've upgrade to the Nikon D750 with two telephoto lens and one close-upFeedback
The trick to most of my photos at the Masai Mara was having a great hunter and guide with us. Whereas most of the tourists were 50-100 feet away from the animals they were photographing, we were more like 10-15 feet away. It was almost scary to a point but the photos were great.
