Location
This photo was taken in the Timbavati in South Africa, the only place in the world with wild white lions.Time
It was taken late morning. We arose very early to start our safari at first light, but it took quite a bit of scouting to locate the prideLighting
I would have preferred early morning light, but with wildlife, you often have to take what you getEquipment
Nikon D7100 and Sigma 150-600Inspiration
It was so special to see these wild leucistic lions, but what really made this shot for me is that it had both the white and normal colored lions and the wonderful interaction of the mother with her cub.Editing
This was shot in RAW and processed in LightroomIn my camera bag
I always have two camera bodies and a shorter and longer telephoto lensFeedback
Go out as early and stay out as late as you can. Always look around and don't just look through the camera. Take time to immerse yourself in the moment and look for those special interactions.
