Amboseli, Kenya – 2019 This bizarre composite taken over a period of 5 seconds by a watering hole, on the North East side of Amboseli dry lake, was taken with a 28mm lens placed on a remote-controlled camera. There is no doubt that it was a low percentage idea because my focal point required a huge giraffe within no more than three meters of the camera, otherwise a 28mm is all too loose a lens to use against a flat backdrop of an arid desert. I chose my focal point because I wanted a low chance of a big shot rather than a good chance of a boring shot. That has to be the way in 2019 Amboseli, Kenya – 2019 This bizarre composite taken over a period of 5 seconds by a watering hole, on the North East side of Amboseli dry lake, was taken with a 28mm lens placed on a remote-controlled camera.

That has to be the way in 2019 The final piece of the jigsaw was the position and posture of the lion. Only Kevin could do this and he is a true genius. This is one of the most important and challenging projects of my career - it is creative and I hope we can break a few fundraising records. It really went far better than any of us hoped. There is a BTS video available to accompany this image. |
