Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken early morning at the Augrabie Falls campsite in South Africa. This male alpha was busy scoping the camp to determine where to ransack. I kept an on him and followed him where he nonchalantly sat near a camper drinking his first cup of coffee and eating from a packet of rusks which in a second was stolen from the camper by this alpha baboon.

Time

It was early morning around 6am

Lighting

Morning light is always a good time to get great lighting.

Equipment

Shot with my canon using a 150/600 lens..

Inspiration

The way this guy (the Baboon was ruling his domain and commanding his troop.

Editing

Yes I played around a little with the effects offered by Viewbug.

In my camera bag

I predominantly use the 150 /600 lens I have a fairly steady hand and the moment he bared his teeth I took the shot as can be seen his fangs are big.

Feedback

Nature is always showing off in one way or another so always be on the lookout. there are additional shots of the Baboons on my page and even one where this alpha is gorging himself on the stolen rusks.
