___________________________

Grabbed this shot a few evenings ago as a pride of lions walked down a road straight towards us.  The five cubs were all over their mom which made for some very funny moments.  She tried, running, biting and growling but they just would not let give her a moment’s peace.  Great sighting.  The sun had just set directly behind the lions so I waited until they were close enough for me to not include any sky in the image as it would have burnt out completely.  Once the burnt out sky was out of the equation I quickly changed to centre weighted metering, focused on the the middle of the group of lions and fired away.  For me this is a great example of wildlife photography content rather than a fine art type image.  Gotta love these moments!

More soon! ;)
