Behind The Lens

Location

We were tracking a pack of African Wild Dogs (also known as Painted Wolves) when they picked up the scent of an Impala herd. They chased after the herd at pace with us in our safari vehicle in hot pursuit. By the time we had caught up with them they had caught one and started shredding it. I jumped off the vehicle to get a closer shot. As I went down on my haunches this Dog ran past with the head. Great opportunity for me.

Time

This action took place late afternoon after the Dogs had finished resting up at their den. The hunt was on.

Lighting

Fortunately being late afternoon the sun was low allowing for softer lighting which allowed for richer colours.

Equipment

Canon 1DX MkII with a 100-400mm F4L lens hand held

Inspiration

The right place at the right time, pure and simple

Editing

A little sharpening, coloraturas enhancement and a small crop.

In my camera bag

When I am on safari I generally have 2 x 1DX MkII's with a 400 f/2.8 Prime and a 70-200mm f/2.8, EOS R Mirrorless with a 15-35mm and a godox flash with a monopod
