lion

Managed to get a nice angle on this lioness. A few distracting elements but it still takes me back to the moment. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f4 1/1000 iso200 oct 23 photosafari

Came across this chap and another old male relaxing in the shade D850 28-300mm 200mm f 5.6 1/640 iso400 Feb 2024 mara big cats safari

I got a few shots of this lion coming through the grass. It ended up being one of my favorite sets even though my first look at the thumbnails they didnt stand out as much as a more formal poses. Its easy to see how lions stay camouflaged amongst the dry grass. D850 200 to 500 f5.6 500m iso250...

Stayed with two male lions for a while this is one of the last shots before they disappeared. Tricky one with focusing and the grass, I never use eye detect or subject tracking in scenes like this. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm iso 800 1/800 f4 Feb 2024 Big Cats photo safari, East Africa

Thought this pose was cute and worth showing D850 200 to 400 400mm 1/800 f5 iso 450 Feb 2024 East Africa photo safari

Nice to get a shot in the sun that isnt heavy on the contrast so quite happy with this one D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/3200 f4 iso 400 Big Cats Safari East Africa Feb 2024

This young male came right to me. I ended up having to switch from my 200-400 to a shorter zoom lens as he was moving closer D850 28-300mm 1/1000 f5.6 300mm iso 400

Just a nice animal portrait that I like D850 200-400 f4 400mm 1/800 f4 iso 800

Although not as 'cute' as some of my other lion cub images, it is certainly the most interesting for me, especially in the way its body is contorted. zooming in I can see my vehicle reflected in the cubs eyes D850 200-400 f4 200mm 1/500 iso 640 f4 7 meters

I took quite a few shots of this lioness coming through the grass. Initially, I just glanced and didnt even rate the imported files. I had others with clear lions, kills, action shots etc that caught my attention. It wasn't until at least 8 months later just revisiting lion images did I take a...

Warthog snack anyone? D850 200-400f4 400mm 1/2500 f4 400iso Some more in my gallery
