Behind The Lens

Location

While on safari in Kenya and while waiting for some big cat action I glanced behind me to see this magnificent pose from an animal. I just couldn’t resist photographing.

Time

This photo was taken shortly before lunch.

Lighting

It was overcast.

Equipment

Shot with a Nikon D850 and with a Nikon 80-400

Inspiration

It was all about the pose. Rarely do wild animals give you an opportunity to photograph standing still with their face toward you.

Editing

Very little post processing. This was an opportunity to compose in camera.

In my camera bag

On safari I would always travel with my D5 and 600mm f/4.

Feedback

When on safari, always look around you. Not only is it a safe practice (what with all the wild animals that could suddenly pop up) you never know what photo op that could present itself.
