Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the Kgalagadi National Park This lion walked past the car and then started to run the next thing a small springbok, came out of the long grass and he went for it . After running 100+ meters he caught it just behind a bush . This was the last photo I got before the end

Time

Time of day was mid morning around 10h00 the heat was heavy and light hash

Lighting

Very hash light and very hot

Equipment

Canon 1d mk4 with a 500 f4 lens camera hand held through the window of my Fortuner. no flash and a heavy crop

Inspiration

When in a park one is always inspired to take good photos and a lion always makes a good one

Editing

The photo has a large crop as it was taken about 100 meters plus. Had to get rid of some Noise and had to sharpen it

In my camera bag

When and game drives I use 3 cameras 1. Canon 1d mk4 with 500 f4 lens 2. Canon 7d mk2 with 300 f2.8 lens 3. Canon 7d mk1 with 70/200 mk2 lens

Feedback

The more photos youn take the better you will get. Always try to get a good back ground the cleaner the better. I love to use a low f/stop max F4 and ISO 400
