Mammals of Southern Africa
Lioness at Sunset

I took this picture of a lioness in South Luangwa National Park. The Mfuwe pride was at the Southern boundery of their territory when we found it. These lions are really relaxed with safari cars and over the years, I have seen the pride grow.
I metered off the sky to get a decent sunset, went to manual setting on my D200 camera and used my SB800 flashgun to make sure that there was enough light on the lioness. I put my camera on a monopod.
