Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Masai Mara National Park, Kenya.

Time

It was in October 2015, early in the morning. Our driver and guide drove a car to the border with Tanzania. Suddenly we got to see this family. I was standing in the car with an open roof. I understood that these are the moments that rarely happen and tried to shoot away many times. Fortunately it was sharp :)

Lighting

It was early in the morning. Natural light helped.

Equipment

I used the Nikon D7100, 250mm f/7.1 1/250S ISO 400. The car was moving slowly and I was trying to keep up with the camera.

Inspiration

It is the animals themselves that inspired me. We have been to Masai Mara several times but down can not plan anything on safari. The only thing you can plan is to get up early. Since animals are also moving.

Editing

There was no post-processing.

In my camera bag

For many years I use the Leica V LUX camera. Especially it fits well on safari. I also used the Nikon D7100. I have started using the a Fuji XH1.

Feedback

I am very grateful to our driver who knows Masai Mara well in Kenya. To take this picture you have to be patient and spend a lot of time. The most important thing is to come to Africa and on safari.
