Living in the wild - but kind of trusting - you can shoot this little guys for example at Kuala Selangor on the east coast of Malaysia.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on the Maasai Mara in Kenya.

Time

This was still early morning on the Maasai Mara, so this male lion and two of his friends were still awake and out in the open.

Lighting

This morning was a bit cloudy and it was still early in the morning, so the sun hadn't really broken through the clouds yet.

Equipment

This photo was shot with Nikon D500 and Nikon 200-400mm f4.

Inspiration

At moments like these I just tend to wait and try to capture the animal from the best possible angle.

Editing

I process all my photos the same way; basic processing in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Nikon D500 and D750, Nikon 200-400mm f4 and 70-200mm f4, Fujifilm X100F and iPhone.

Feedback

Just get out there and shoot.
