Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a private game lodge in South Africa .

Time

It was late afternoon just at beginning the golden hour.

Lighting

I remember the beautiful soft golden light rays covering and bringing out the best of the African bush

Equipment

Equipment used for this shot was a Canon 6D and a canon 600mm f4 is ii telephoto lens.

Inspiration

I just love the peace of the bush and the great diversity Africa has to offer.

Editing

I shoot in RAW format and done some minor adjustments in Lightroom

In my camera bag

I normally carry two Canon bodies - a 6D and 550D. For lenses, i carry a Canon 24mm - 40mm USM II and a 18mm - 200mm. In this case, the 600mm f4 was rented for the occasion.

Feedback

Have fun and keep shooting!
