The Lion King

[arnausc]

A picture of the genet at the bird drinking pool in a position that reminded me of The Lion King movie. The sensor was placed under the trunk, pointing upward so that when it raised its head (thus being at the highest point of the trunk), it triggered the camera. The flashes were set up following a basic scheme: two at 45 degrees angle with different intensities to avoid flat lighting, and one backlit to outline the silhouette of the animal.

Nikon D500 + Nikkor 18-140mm + AMJ sensor + 3 Godox flashes (V860II, V850II, TT600)

1/250, f8, ISO500, 75mm

Thats a stunning image! I like the fact you have managed to get it with its head raised in the perfect pose by the thoughtful placement of the sensor, not an easy thing to do. Very nicely done.
