lion

A young lion up on a bank looking down on me wondering what I am doing most probably :)

First encounter of the day, this relatively young male had just got up and was getting ready to find breakfast D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/800 f4 iso 720 E africa photo safari

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 sots 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...

These two would not keep still. I couldn't quite manage to get the right spot to capture them the way I would like (head on for the drinking one) so had to settle for this viewpoint. Such is life in the wild! D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/3200 f4 iso 400 Feb 2024 big cats photo safari, east africa

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

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

A couple of old male lions just walking up. I would have liked to come across them a few hours later when I could have closed down and lowered the iso as well but in the wild you dont have too much choice, just make the best of it. D850 200 to 400 f4 200mm f4 1/400 iso 4000

Fun to watch this lion family hanging out, the light was a little harsh but managed to get a few shots. D850 28 to 300 3.5 200mm 1/400 f10 iso 500 Big Cats Safari Feb 2024

Tricky lighting but the Raw file managed to hold the detail. This old male is probably sick given the jaws and saliva D850 200 to 400 f4 1/800 f4 iso 500 400mm Center Average metering

Although not as 'cute' as some of my other lion cub images certainly the most interesting for me especially in the way its body is contorted. 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

This lioness was watching gazelle through the gap under my vehicle as they passed far behind D850 200-400 f4 400mm f4 1/800 iso 400

Not my usual angle but a shot I like for the curved line Z5 300mm 1/500 f5.6 iso 640
