In the evenings in the natural forests near St Lucia, the Nyala come out to water and feed as the sun goes down.

We thought we had disturbed him, but he just gave us this look for half a minute then lay back and went to sleep.

Behind The Lens

Location

Up in the north of the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Time

The shadows from the tree show that it is round mid day, a good time for animals to be hiding up and sleeping.

Lighting

With the near equatorial sun there is almost too much light.

Equipment

I used a Finepix SL 300, hand held.

Inspiration

Opportunity is the greatest asset with wildlife and being prepared to take what luck you get.

Editing

I don't like messing with images after their taken and spend more time taking lots of shots to get what I want in the final image.

In my camera bag

Just the Canon and a 75 to 300 lens.

Feedback

The Serengeti is one of the truly greatest places to see an photograph wildlife, unspoiled and as created by nature. Although some areas get very crowded there are still huge areas away from the crowds where you can take your time and get great shots.
