Behind The Lens

Location

Phinda Reserve, South Africa

Time

The shot was taken mid morning

Lighting

This was a bright sunny beautiful day

Equipment

Canon 20D with 100-400L at 400mm. The shot was hand held.

Inspiration

I love wild cats and the cubs were delightful to watch. I love their faces.

Editing

Minor post processing was done on on lighting and sharpening.

In my camera bag

This was taken 10 years ago, back then I had just my 20D with my 100-400L and a 400 DO.

Feedback

There is no substitution to seeing wildlife in their natural environments free of any human restrictions. The opportunities that present themselves are truly remarkable. Be patient, sit with the animals for long periods of time and you never know what you will get.
