Location
I took this shot near Mara river, in Tanzania, when i spent there 8 nights last August. This place is so magical. You can learn many wise things, observing these animals. Why they brave, why fear. Why they move, why stand. I respect them so much since that time.Time
It was right befor the sunset, at 19:00Lighting
Light was soft and nice... well, you can see it :)Equipment
I used Nikon D4, lens 70-200 f/2.8 plus converter X2Inspiration
I wished to see how the Great Migration cross the Mara river since I've seen similar photo for the first time.Editing
I did a ?rop, added more contrast, and played a little bit with color of grass and darkness.In my camera bag
I usually have zoom lens and wide angle lens. Plus few special things to clean lenses and camera.Feedback
You should just choose right settings and take a serial shots. And, be at the right place, at the right time!
