Lion at Night

27 Jan 2020 13 15 498
Taken during our safari at Kruger National Park, South Africa. Near the end of the first day, the driver took us around to see some animals in the dark. He used a spotlight to illuminate them, which probably caused some irritation... There was a pride of lions in the grass nearby, and his spotlight caught this lion quite close to us. (The lions are over-lit, but there are now some possibly dangerous shadows. Who else is in the grass, waiting for a Sunday Challenge?) I used the Panasonic GX85 with a long telephoto lens, and processed with GIMP. More night photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Lion Yawn

Taken during our 2018 safari in South Africa. We got to see a number of lion groups in the Kruger National Park area. This was taken with the Panasonic GX85 with a 200-400 telephoto, and then cropped with GIMP.
