[/color]Masai Mara Moments 2020. I have been a regular visitor in Masai Mara for almost ten years and today is one of the best and memorable moment happened in my photography journey. I have been taking photography guests to Masai Mara more than 5 years and sharing my knowledge and experience with photographers who come with me to improve their skills. Today we were on our third day in Masai Mara along with our guests and witnessed this breathtaking moment in the wild. A Lioness tried to attack a cheetah to kill her four cubs. And the mother cheetah was so ferocious and bold enough that she chased the lioness miles away from her cute little cubs. Both the cheetah and lioness had direct fight couple of times where none of them were injured. Hitting my bed now hoping that I will be able to see the cubs tomorrow morning alive. The equipment used was a Nikon D6 camera and 180-400mm f/4 lens. I should say the focus tracking was spot on with the latest D6 and the versatility and accuracy of 180-400mm lens was the key element in capturing these moments. PS: All these are screenshots taken from the raw files. I haven’t edited any of these photos. I have more fighting pics in this series Nisha Purushothaman Nitin Michael Johnny Temut Nikonians Middle East Malaika bush camp
