Behind The Lens
Location
We were at the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda with an incredible, gracious and intelligent guide, Bernice Iwacu. We had not found any families yet and sat for a bit before expecting to hear from others by radio. Just as people got out water bottles, etc this gentleman, ISANO, came up behind us - Bernice barely had time to step off the path and get between her party and him; he smiled at her and she smiled back. I had just enough time to snap the photo with my phone because I had taken a picture minutes before. No one else had cameras out because we hadn't seen any gorillas yet.Time
It was morning - but not early because we had walked for at least an hour in our pursuit of a gorilla family. Bernice said at the time that he was traveling solo but would get with his family that day. She also said he was "a silverback to be."Lighting
I had no time to think about anything but wanting to capture the smiles between two beautiful souls. ..Equipment

I am an amateur - but would only say not to underestimate photos taken on your phone.
