"Future of the Western Pride?", Timbavati, Private Reserve, South Africa, Nov 2022 - To end my 2022 safari calendar I took a 'selfish trip' to visit my friends at Leadwood Private Camp Timbavati along with 5 friends. On our first game drive we found the Western Pride lions. This young lion immediately caught my eye.
During the trip I tried a new photo technique for me to get super low angle photos of my subjects and/or eye level shots. I connected my OM System OM-1 and 40-150mm lens to a monopod and then inverted the monopod over the side of the game drive vehicle with the rear screen facing up toward me. I focused and fired the camera with the RM-WR1 Wireless Remote Control. This is the very first image with the new technique. After this shot, I was hooked. btw, I would like to have used a wider angle lens, but wanted to keep my distance from the subject to not stress them and have them act in their natural way. The challenge was pre-guessing the amount of zoom to use. In this particular shot I'm at 120mm (240mm equivalent).”
