An artistic approach to a classic photograph!
This beautiful photo was taken during a photo trip to/in Masai Mara National Park in Kenya.
Far from all the crowds, I encountered this magnificent lion lying on the savannah in the afternoon. It had just rained and the sun was just coming through the dark rain clouds again.
The relaxed lion and the conditions created a particularly colourful mood.
I took the picture with a Nikon D850 camera with a Nikkor 500F4 lens. A great combination with which to take nice sharp photos's. The result was a beautiful picture with extraordinary colours.
The distance to the male lion was about 25 metres and the photo was taken handheld with beanbag from a Landrover with an emphatic focus on composition and depth of field. A blurred foreground and background was created in the process.
A magnificent wildlife photo that in Acrylic or Dibond can become a true showpiece on your wall!
