Lighting was not much of an issue for an overhead shot like this. It was capturing the moment that told the story.Equipment
Mavic 2 Pro with Hasselblad on board camera.Inspiration
Lookin at my monitor while composing the shot I noticed a somewhat circular formation of other wildlife consuming or waiting to consume the carcass of the elephant. It demonstrated the way of the bush. Nothing goes to waste...it was the circle of life, captured as an image.Editing
I shoot in the RAW format that made basic post processing necessary.In my camera bag
Nikon D5 body, Nikon D850 body, Nikon 600mm f/4 lens and a 80-400mm f4.5 back up lens. Taking points of views that make photographing images like this requires a drone and on this trip I brought s newly released (3 day old) Mavic 2-Pro.Feedback
The lens sees differently from our eyes. Being able to see the difference in an image is what will set your image apart from the rest. Keep an open mind...
