Lioness resting in the golden light of Tsavo East

I feel that the phrase 'painting with light' cannot be better expressed in words. The photograph of this lioness in tsavo east national park, just seems to naturally explain the term itself.

For some us who have acquired wildlife photography skills, this photo was taken at the golden hour which is the moment just before sunset or sunrise. Since the sun is low on the horizon at those times of day, there is a beautiful softness to the light which gives a magical touch to ones photographs. 

During one of our safaris in tsavo east, we found this lioness resting in a patch of grass just after she completed a successful hunt. Positioning ourselves in the right direction, we waited for the sun to begin setting and nature just did the rest. The grass slowly started lighting up golden, presenting a beautiful photo moment befitting this queen of the jungle.

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
