Behind The Lens

Location

Mara conservancy in Kenya

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

Natural lighting

Equipment

Canon 5d iv canon 100-400 lens. Handheld

Inspiration

The majestic lion. I also liked the context of the long grass going to seed.

Editing

Very little. A little white balance adjustment and a bit of sharpening

In my camera bag

Canon 5d iv canon 80d canon lenses 16-35 24-70 70-200 100-400 and 500. Rrs tripod and ball head. Wimberley gimbal if I am stationary.

Feedback

Wait for good light. Pay attention to exposure compensation or you will blow out highlights.
