Behind The Lens

Location

I took this in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. We were very lucky when this female crossed our paths.

Time

In the early afternoon, she was probably moving her cub to a shady area to escape the afternoon heat

Lighting

No, just a lucky afternoon shot whilst on safari

Equipment

My old Nikon d700 with a 70-200 f2:8, she literally walked into my POV

Inspiration

Lucky shot! The lioness just walked into our POV when we were looking for lions

Editing

Just a conversion to b&w and some peaking and tweeting, no rocket science here

In my camera bag

D800 24-70 2:8 nikkor 70-200 2:8 nikkor 50 1:4 nikkor 12-24 sigma
