Lioness sunrise

A lioness sits and contemplates another beautiful sunrise, captured whilst lying underneath my vehicle.

Laikipia- Northern Kenya.

 

Camera Nikon  D5 Lens AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR ISO 100 Focal Length 130.0 mm (130.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/9 Exposure Time  0.004s (1/250)
Ele generational procession. Leading the procession we have the bull, then an adult female and her older daughter and young mischievous son complete with trunk in the air! Above the bull are a trio of squabbling Anteater Chat. This gives a good indication as to the size of a mature bull to a mature female, a massive difference! It took over an hour and a lot of patience to capture all four progressively sized with clear separation and to a wonderful late afternoon sky, what a joy to witness! Laikipia- Kenya   Camera         Nikon D5   Lens AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR ISO 180 Focal Length 116.0 mm (116.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/5.6 Exposure Time  0.001s (1/1000)
Lions in the sky 4 females and 1 cub from the Wapuka pride come down to drink. In  attempting to capture the reflective atmosphere and avoid 'just another sunset' image,  I flipped the shot to show the animals the right way up, creating an intriguing  scene. Selinda- Botswana.   Camera Nikon  D4 Lens AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR ISO 12800 Focal Length 70.0 mm (70.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/4 Exposure Time 0.0025s (1/400)
Leaping lechwe A small harem of Red Lechwe leap across a stream to reach the male, one early dawn. Kwando, Botswana.   Camera Nikon  D4S Lens 400.0 mm f/2.8 ISO250 Focal Length 400.0 mm (400.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/4 Exposure Time 0.00063s (1/1600)         Beam me up! A bull elephant soaks up the beautiful beams of sunlight that ranged across the plains of Loisaba this late afternoon. Loisaba- Northern Kenya.   Camera Nikon D5 Lens AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR ISO500 Focal Length 120.0 mm (120.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/7.1 Exposure Time 0.0005s (1/2000)         Rhino face-off Loisaba- Northern Kenya     Camera Nikon NIKON D5 Lens AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR ISO1250 Focal Length 98.0 mm (98.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/5.6 Exposure Time 0.00125s (1/800)                   Baobab lineup.   Ruaha NP-TZ   Camera  Nikon  D810 Lens 24.0-70.0 mm f/2.8 ISO250 Focal Length 70.0 mm (70.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/8 Exposure Time 0.004s (1/250)                     Kopje king The dominant male from the Kusini Kopje pride stands upon his kingdom and surveys the dawn horizon. Kusini plains/Serengeti- Nth Tanzania.   Camera Nikon  D4 Lens AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR ISO1600 Focal Length 210.0 mm (210.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/5.6 Exposure Time 0.00025s (1/4000)         Waterhole sky Cropping for just the waterhole reflection and flipping the image to create more than just another waterhole sunset. K2 waterhole, Hwange NP- Zimbabwe.   Camera Nikon D810 Lens AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED ISO720 Focal Length 24.0 mm (24.0 mm in 35mm) Aperture f/9 Exposure Time 0.00156s (1/640         Triple header!
