Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at antelope park in Zimbabwe. The park is undertaking rather ambitious projects. Waking up in a tent to the roar of lions along with this moment will be something I will never forget.

Time

This was taken at midday. Photographing animals is a lot different to other types of photography. It's spontaneous and often out of your control. You've just got to be ready and get a little bit lucky!

Lighting

Natural lighting.

Equipment

No fancy equipment was used, I feel that if I can master the basics and the rules of photography then it will be a lot easier for when I save up the money and upgrade.

Inspiration

Animals always thrill and excite me. On a 6 week safari through Africa I tried to capture as many moments and memories as possible. This charge I think demonstrates the raw power and incredible magesty of these magnificent apex predators

Editing

Because my gear is quite basic I do edit my photos for enhancement purposes. I really enjoy this process. HDR is probably what I use the most frequently

In my camera bag

Again I am fairly amateur, just passionate! I carry a 4 year old Sony travel compact camera and use the standard lense. I also take a go pro and use my iPhone. Quality can be surprisingly good.

Feedback

Antelope park is the only place in the world where the public can experience this moment. Clearly Africa is the continent to look into if you have a passion for animals and photography. I left with some of the best memories and photos of my life.
