‘Decisions and Choices’ with Grant Marcus
So often we sit with decisions in wildlife photography that can either work or bomb out completely. Especially when you have an opportunity to capture something rare or unique. It normally happens at the worst time of day, early morning and late, late afternoon. That is where you need to know your equipment. Post-processing plays an enormous role in the outcome of your image especially if you worked in bad light.
These lion images were shot just after 6:00 a.m. in the morning. Normally, I wouldn’t even bother shooting them in this light, but the situation, the scene ,and the opportunity to capture something unique was there and I had to take it. In wildlife photography you only get maybe one chance to get that unique shot of a species. We all know that lions swimming and playing in water is, in itself, a unique opportunity.
