very beautiful moment caught. Of course if the hunt was successful would you have done many other important shots:-D

Oh yes Oly! even if your heart in your throat would nullify the effect of the stabilizer 100 400 and would give me shots all moved! so maybe it's better that way ... :-D

Hardly does Oly said, good time and the dynamism of the 'action justifies the move.

Take the hill on the outside of Munge river?
That group of lions I know him well ....

I'll always cheer for carrion but predators!
In fact they are much more at risk of herbivores ....

L 'avvicnamento first and then the hunting, are moments of pure adrenaline! ebnissimo and understand your emotion ..
purttoppo, always as far as said above, most of the times goes wrong.

Hello super Memy, I do not know if the river is that, but probably yes, we were on a road that runs along the river, just before the herd was practically in / under the jeep in total relaxation, then stood up and in 10 minutes they were 20 meters from the prey that they watered the river at a ford. It 'a group of lionesses with a couple of young male lions (see other photo "Punta" in the gallery). Will post more pictures of this scene I also have a movie in HD:-D:-D

On a day to Ngorongoro we saw this scene and two other hunting scenes potentials (in the very initial stage), which unfortunately we could not follow to the end due to time

ps: I always cheer for predators, I agree with the fact that they are at greater risk ;-)

Great nice document!
As for the photo I say the shake a little disturbing ', it is true that makes the idea of ??action and movement, but then I would have preferred more moved by opting for a longer time ...
There is always the altrenativa panning, but it is very risky to go risk of throwing all the shots! :-)
I would, however, increase the ISO to get a faster shutter speed and freeze so the scene! ;-)
Then a few millimeters more in this case would not hurt, the action is a bit 'distantina! ;-)

I will bitch but always rooting for predators!
Ditto 8-)

Good light
Ivan

Thanks Ivan I agree 100% with your analysis, I ate a posteriori by covering their hands for not having raised the ISO, but I assure you that the action took place in about 2 seconds, I had to take the shot wide to follow the action that I had no idea where he would live, thank goodness I had previously put in AIServo with the central and four-point expansion. The panning in this case was virtually impossible because the lioness disappeared only to reappear in the river running with the prey from another angle, a mess!

Is surely a nice document and you will not archivierai so easily because it is the memory of the intensity, emotion, adrenaline with which you have lived. I confess several pictures not perfect in sequences of hunting, but I can not throw any xchè times I relive those moments. Says Ivan probably some more iso would help.
Absolutely and always pro-predators ... waiting for the ambush and possible prey is definitely one of the most sought after and difficult, however, seen a few killings despite many attacks. Many of the attacks occur at night and in particular of the lions, as they can get closer to their prey and then launch an attack, given the few meters shooting available. So many times I've seen traps fail for the behavior still playful puppies that were maybe see behind themothers ... I would say more of the puppies cheetah.
Hello, Stephen.

I understand that in certain situations do not have much time to think and work on the car, you go shooting. How many times have I 'happened! So I agree with you and the picture is always a nice document. I do not want Ivan but I 'happened to read comments on my own photos of birds in flight with the critical' and 'too centered, "" lack of breath "and so on. But I wonder, and I say 'a bird in flight is not' remote controlled! Seize the day and vaffa .... if there is any defect.

I fully agree with you, it is easier to talk about seeing the shot, however, is to consider what happens when shooting and before, emotion and excitement mingle and make you be less polished, it happened to me many times, are first that gets picked up by emotions, so mine is not a criticism, but it's just a simple analysis that could be useful if by chance there should be a similar situation! ;-)
To me many times during shooting I have come to mind the advice received here on the forum and sometimes I have returned their profits!

@ Pmaffio welcome all criticism, help to improve and defects can not be ignored ... A picture is beautiful even though it has its flaws, I have never denied this ... :-)

Thanks to Pmaffio and Ivanmazzon for comments, which I believe to be constructive.

Indeed, I am sure that one side is already half miracle capture certain scenes, but on the other hand you should always try to improve, and thanks to these observations, it is likely that the next time I make it easier to set the parameters correctly before shooting .

Also be familiar with the equipment helps, and with the first real tough out for 5dIII + 100-400, towards the end of safari a few days after this shot, I found a hair to raise the ISO to shorten the time and reduce the risk of shake, because for example, I noticed that 1/320 to 400mm although POMPONE has stabilized (little), are not always sufficient, while 1/400 is sufficient in 90% of cases. Light & egravand, when the light is so great, as in this situation the hunt, I could easily overdo it and raising the ISO to 200 or 400 (straight road well from mkIII) not to worry about more than shake etc.. Alternatively, in this case, I could shoot at 5.6 or 6.3 even at the cost of slightly worse sharpness.

I believe that with the MarkIII not you should worry not to be taken for 800ISO! :-)

Definitely go with the ISO a bit with that light he would not have taken particular disadvantages and you would allow faster they would rather freeze the moment. Typically in the photograph are the choices decided that pay ... or freeze or risk panning.
From the point of view of aesthetics of the photo not helped you because you have a point shot from crushing a little about the plans and the background a little present. It would have been nice to have them to your own height .... but we could not do anything.
Without this theoretical premise, the photo is a document not easy to have in your portfolio and you were very good at knowing grasp those few moments available.

Technicalities aside, I think it is a fortune to attend a hunting scene.
compliments for the time being caught.
