Lion Pictures - Pg 3These lion photos - of adult males, females, youngsters and cubs - were taken in Botswana (Tuli Block), South Africa (Kruger National Park), and Zambia (Lower Zambezi National Park).By human standards, lions lead a very lazy lifestyle! They're typically active for only two to four hours at night and then spend much of the day resting in the shade. If you're on safari, your chances of capturing lion activity on camera will be much better in the early morning or late afternoon. That's in any event the best time of day for photography because the light is softer. |

A Variety of Colors
Adult lions vary in color from tawny to sandy brown with white or cream under parts. Cubs are often lighter and faintly spotted on the lower parts. However, because photographers are often obliged to take pictures of lions in poor light - usually deep or mottled shade - the colors you'll find when looking at lion photographs in books or magazines can vary dramatically.
Affordable Digital Cameras
This allows you to take pictures in lower light than you would with a typical F5.6, 75-300mm zoom lens or even an expensive 300m F4 telephoto lens. Armed with one of these cameras - that will cost you substantially less than the equivalent in 35mm format - you should be able to return from a photographic safari in Africa with some excellent lion or other wildlife pictures.
