Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken in the Kgalagadi National Park South Africa. Nossop Camp on the border of Namibia

Time

Time of day was just before the sun went behind the horizon

Lighting

The light was behind the object very sharp backlight I was laying flat on the ground holding the camera in my hand

Equipment

The Camera was a old 7d and the lens was a old 500 f4 lens Had nothing to assist me with this photo

Inspiration

I heard the the Seracate's were in the camp so I took the first camera and lens and ran to the far side of the camp. Stunning light was most inspiring

Editing

A little cropping was done

In my camera bag

This day this was the only nequipment I was carring

Feedback
