Behind The Lens

Location

Laikipia Wilderness Camp, Laikipia, Kenya

Time

It was the end of a very long day just as the light was beginning to fade. I had left the UK on an overnight flight the day before and this was at the end of our first drive in the afternoon. We had found the pack of wild dogs and was following them as they began to wake up and get ready to hunt.

Lighting

All natural

Equipment

Nikon D7100, 70-200mm F4

Inspiration

I could see the scene unfolding as the dogs slid out of the thick vegetation and started to form a single file along the road as we followed. I took about a dozen shots.

Editing

Not a great deal of post processing was involved just a simple Lightroom preset was applied.

In my camera bag

Olympus OMD EM-1 mk 1, 50-200mm F2.8-3.5mm, EC-14, 9-18mm, 12-40mm F2.8, 60mm F2.8, 17mm F1.8, 45mm F1.8 Nikon D7100, 70-20mm F4, 300mm F4 PF, TC-1.4iii, 35mm F1.8

Feedback

Go to Laikipia Wilderness Camp the wild dog encounters are incredible.
