Nothing special other than this was just past the golden hour on a bright sunny morningEquipment
Canon 1DS with Canon 100-400L lens. This was hand held while I was sitting in a vehicle.Inspiration
Inspiration? Its a BIG cat. I love all wildlife, but I especially love the the big cats.Editing
This had basic post processing as I shoot in raw. The contrast, levels and sharpness were adjusted. There was also minor cloning out of grass.In my camera bag
Currently I travel with a Canon 1Dx, Canon 1D IV, Canon 7D II along with Canon 400 DO with 1.4x,Canon 100-400L II, Canon 70-200L III and other specialty lensesFeedback
With wildlife. always be ready. You never know what opportunity will present itself and take as many shots as you can so that there are plenty to choose from.
