    Default Sunset curiosity

    A cub and sub adult lioness* carefully approach my lens under a wonderful winter sunset in Zambia's South Luangwa Nat Park.
    I love the upward glance on that young cub!

    With my FP on the young cub and with the older sibling suddenly stepping half a metre forward, with being so close, the face unfortunately isn't quite sharp , but I think the quizzical pose makes up for that somewhat........that's wildlife!

    Captured using an L bracket, ballhead/flipped monopod and remote CamRanger, slight crop for comp, curves, levels in PS CC'19 & ACR.

    *Gabriela, mum was @ the rear, this was a sub -adult lioness around 18 mths old, on babysitting duties.

    Nikon D810
    Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2
    f/6.3 -.33EV
    fill flash (rear curtain) -1.3EV
    1/250s
    ISO500@ 55mm.

    I leave tomorrow for a 3 week return trip to Central Serengeti with conditions even drier than normal,
    allowing for some good sightings of Pangolin and a melanistic/black Serval seen close to camp .....fingers, toes & eyes crossed that the Gods smile upon me, until then.



    Cheers
