About
Location: Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya Date: 23 Feb 2005 Capture: Canon EOS-1D Mk II, EF 500 f4L IS with EF 1.4x II, 1/350, f5.6, ISO 800 (The teleconverter was ?permanently attached? to the body to keep dust out when changing between the 120-300 and 500.)
Thanks Pat. The Mara, as it's frequently called, is probably the best place in East Africa to shoot wildlife. All the major species are there, and the environment is great for shooting. The more-famous Serengeti, which is on the Tanzania side of the border (the Mara and Serengeti NPs border one another), has the same species, but it's a bit harder, in general, to shoot there.
Great capture of one of the most spectacular small carnivores. He seems very well adapted for this harsh environment. Nice composition. Thank you very much for sharing. Yamil
