Description
I captured this fellow in the Kgalagadi. It was a very hot day and he was lying in the shade. I found it very difficult to balance the light with him being in the shade and the harsh and very bright desert light behind him. Thought the photo was a right-off until I decided to go highkey - and I liked the result!

What a pisser those kind of lighting situations are eh? Still I have a philosophy. NEVER right an image off until you have played around with it a bit, if it still looks like crap after, then you bin it, this is sharp, so deserves its place Carin! Camera meters will never get it right. 18% grey is 100% whacky!

I am always impressed by the variety of animals you are able to photograph. The result here shows how wild animals truly can blend into the landscape. Thanks for sharing the capture.
