The lions have learned to trust the Landcruisers that roam their terrain.<br /><br />Dear A Cuban in London,<br />I think that you would have been just as close as we were. These lions were very drowsy because it was full daylight. <br /><br />Dear margie,<br />Well gee, now that everyone is telling me how close I was, maybe I was foolish. <br /><br />Dear Dave Ingram,<br />Thank you! I agree, concentrating on one feature does invite further inspection doesn't it?<br /><br />Dear Ruth,<br />Thank you! Underwater photography is so tricky; I failed miserably in the Galapagos Islands. I bet those pictures of the leopard seal were great. Three days, wow!Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-72585722812492056632009-11-19T02:18:09.368-08:002009-11-19T02:18:09.368-08:00It works beautifully because there is still so muc...It works beautifully because there is still so much detail in her face. Such a rare photo. It reminds me of the recent fellow who spent 3 days with a leopard seal and got amazing photos in the water - the National Geographic photographer/explorer.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-43790436031018261032009-11-18T17:51:16.770-08:002009-11-18T17:51:16.770-08:00Nice photograph - I love looking at images that ar...Nice photograph - I love looking at images that are part of an animal, plant, insect, etc. It's nice to use your imagination to think of what the whole object might be/look like.

I shot this with a monopod from a stationary Landcruiser. <br /><br />I had a link of the original photo in my post but now, after your note, I decided to go ahead and paste it in. <br /><br />Dear Valerie,<br />You're absolutely right, it's exactly where your eyes focus. <br /><br />Dear Gel,<br />No, this lion was in the wild, not even in a national park. Even though these lions were very sleepy, we all moved very cautiously in the Landcruiser. <br /><br />Dear awarewriter,<br />It was a bit unnerving to be so close to the animals, but we had a great guide and we were all very careful. <br /><br />Dear lisaschaos,<br />So glad you approve of my non-macro photo.<br /><br />Dear Marilyn Miller,<br />I know what you mean because they do look like pussycats but I was never tempted. Even in their sleepy state, they exuded power.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-76447505380896436652009-11-16T18:53:17.651-08:002009-11-16T18:53:17.651-08:00I would be so excited to see a lion that close, bu...I would be so excited to see a lion that close, but I would have wanted to reach out and hugged him.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-86725344654559226702009-11-16T16:26:39.366-08:002009-11-16T16:26:39.366-08:00Oh yeah!
