This is one of the females I spent almost 5 days with in Botswana, (the pride consisting of two females and seven cubs, three older, four only a few months old), but all in prime condition. We had to gamble where to position the jeep as often things do not go according to plan at the best of times. I was still messing around with the AF micro adjustment out in the field, this time it was bang on thank goodness!!!! Taken towards the end of the afternoon in some nice light.
Thanks to those who viewed or posted a comment on the previous thread.
