Location
The picture was taken In Chobe National Park, Botswana.Time
The photo was taken around 6:00p.m.Lighting
The light was natural, no flash was used.Equipment
I used a Canon 5d mark iii and a Canon 28-300mm L series to make the shot(he was very closed).Inspiration
It was my last day in Botswana.It was a long hot day and they were about to close the park. We were on our way out and I was disappointed because I had seen all types of animals except the leopard. All of a sudden my guide saw one luxuriating on a branch.I was so excited I almost dropped the camera.I had to be quick because the guards were screaming at us to get out.Editing
Sharpening was applied to the photo and shadows and highlights were recovered. A small crop was done for the composition.In my camera bag
In my bag I carry cleaning tissues, mosquito repelant and a flash.Feedback
To do a shot like this make shure you have the correct aperture, speed and ISO. Be very patience and have fun with it! Respect nature, never agitate an animal for a shot.
