Hey everyone...this will be my last post for a while as we are off in 30hrs for a 2-week foray into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park...needless to say I am giddy as a schoolboy about this one...
This animalscape was shot on our short trip 2 weeks ago in the Madikwe Game Reserve. To read the interesting tale of how we almost became his breakfast, check out my blog post about the incident HERE! (Gotta try and drive SOME traffic there! ;))
Cropped to exclude the road in front. I held my hand down the side of the Landy for a lower angle and used Live View to focus and compose.
Thanks to everyone who makes the BPN Wildlife Gallery such an amazing community. Keep posting some gems in my absence!
Techs:
Canon 7D with 10-22mm USM @ 22mm
f4.5 @ ISO-400
Kenko PRO Circular Polariser
This is a blend of 2 exposures - one for the sky and mountain and one for the lion and plains.
Even 1024px doesn't do this scene justice...
