Lion on Serengeti kopje

A Lion on a Serengeti kopje

Our guide was old and crusty. He honked our vehicle’s horn to try to get this lion’s attention, but the king didn’t bat an ear. Pretty bad practice by the guide we had.

It’s a two year old picture of a male lion on a kopje in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, which I took in November 2007. It was right on midday when I took this picture.

It was OK in color, but transferred more successfully to monochrome.

Taken using a Nikon D200 with a 70-200 f2.8 lens at f/5.6, 1/800 and ISO 100
