Male Lion Picture 4
I took this Male Lion Picture just before sunset one afternoon near Dertiende Borehole. On the afternoon we arrived in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park we noticed two male lions at a kill right next to the road. We drove on, set up camp, and then went back when the light was good. We knew they were going nowhere far from their kill. One was feasting behind a thick bush and the other one was napping. I waited for it to look up and strike a decent pose, and this is the resulting picture. I would not rate it as too good in terms of salon standards, since the lion is in complete shade and not doing much. It is still a photo that pleases me as it shows the beauty of this magnificant cat and has a pleasing mood to it. I visited the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in March 2006 with my photography mentor, Johan Joubert APSSA. We had a really good time and I still believe this is one of the top four wildlife photography hotspots in Southern Africa. I just wish that someone will fix the broken waterpumps so that the wildlife can have sufficient water. The roads are pretty bad as well, but it is still well worth a visit. If you also want opportunities to take pictures like this one, why don't you visit my Africa Safaris section... Please note that my pictures are not public domain, and are all copyright protected.
