Behind The Lens

Location

I took this great image of an Asiatic Lion in Gir India. This is the last bastion of wild Asiatic lions in the world.

Time

This Asiatic male Lion has just come from the watering trough. and decided to rest looking around and not being hurried to do anything. I was late in the afternoon

Lighting

The late afternoon sun cast great lighting on this great Asiatic male Lion, letting the setting sun play just the correct light for this great shot.

Equipment

The Equipment used was Canon 5D MK lll w/ 500mm 4.0 w/ 1.4 extender with a bean bag for stability in the back of Jeep

Inspiration

Just waiting for the moment of seeing this great Asiatic Lion coming through the bush taking it's time, than just laying down and relaxing

Editing

The only thing I did was adjust the lighting a little a bit of contrast is all.

In my camera bag

When traveling I have two Canon 5D Mklll 1 1.4 Canon extender, Canon 500mm 4.0,Canon 35-80 lens Canon 70-200 2.8L lens plus any lens I have been able to borrow from CPS. in a Tamrac Expedition 9 backpack.

Feedback

The thing is being patience being able to wait for the moment , than taking it when you get it.
