Location
This photo was taken at the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.Time
I believe it was early morning. We had just finished a breakfast on the plain and three cheetahs were in the neighborhood, a mother and two younger cats.Lighting
Just everyday lighting that you get in KenyaEquipment
Taken with a Nikon camera while sitting in the rear of a Land Cruiser. We stopped and spent close to an hour watching the three Cheetahs and shooting LOTS off photosInspiration
Just the sheer beauty of the Cheetah. They look like speed even when they are just standing there.Editing
Not really.In my camera bag
Now I carry a Nikon D750 and also an iPhone. I find sometimes I can get just as good a photo with my iPhone and when printed most people don't believe the photo was taken with my phone.Feedback
We went with a friend, a professional Hunter, tour guide/professional photographer and a Yasi warrior. We were able to traverse the reserve and go places that your normal tourist never gets to see. Most of my photos were taken from a distance no greater than two feet away. When you're that close you're bound to get some wonderful photos.
