Location
The photo was taken during a evening game drive /safari in famous masai mara national reserve.Time
It was taken during the late afternoon game drive.Lighting
It was bit sunny and the cheetah imani and her cubs were feeding on a recent Impala kill in shade.Equipment
This was shot using Nikon 850 along nikkor 200-500/ f5.6 telephoto LenseInspiration
We had waited for a long time in hot sun as cheetah and cubs were focused on eating the meal. I was waiting for a right moment for the cub to peek a boo with blood stains on its face. I felt that would perfectly reflect true nature of these predators. Cub though so cute looking is a predator. That's what inspired me to show case it.Editing
I had used basic post processing of adjusting high lights , lifting of shadows, contrast and noise reduction. As cheetah and her cubs were in shade to reflect it I had darkened the background using vignetting.In my camera bag
I always carry 2 camera bodies Nikon D850 and Nikon D500 coupled with telephoto Lense of Nikkor 200-500 and 300 pf /f4 LenseFeedback
