Location
It was taken at Nambiti Game Reserve in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.Time
It was around 10:00 am and we were starting our walk to interact with cheetahs when this little meerkat hopped up on the table to inspect us. Reared as an orphan it was quite tame allowing me to get the close up shot.Lighting
This was in full sunlight so no mood lighting. I just wanted to try capture the essence of this busy little creature who rarely paused.Equipment
I used my Canon 550 and a macro lens.Inspiration
When you’re in a game reserve you have to rely on long lenses and this little creature enabled me to use my macro for once!Editing
No post processing other than a little sharpening.In my camera bag
For wildlife my Canon 300mm lens and a macro for interesting insects or flowers I may encounter.Feedback
Always focus on the eyes.
