Behind The Lens

Location

African Lion Safari, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada

Time

Taken on August 31, 2016 at 11:50 AM

Lighting

All natural light, high contrast, harsh noon sun

Equipment

Nikon D7200 Nikkor 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6 Hand-held, with VR

Inspiration

Reminded me of the lyrics "...Lazing on the sunny afternoon..." from the song by The Kinks.

Editing

Used Adobe LR 6.1 to convert from colour to B&W, boosted contrast, cropped out lioness laying next to him

In my camera bag

A camera, a long range zoom lens, 1 or 2 fast prime lenses, a flash, lens cleaning kit, a spare battery or two.

Feedback

Must be quick, and ready for fast changing scenery and light as you are going trough the park in a moving vehicle. I had my ISO set to Auto and used Aperture Priority exposure.
