Photo Of The Day By Robert Henderson

Today’s Photo of the Day is “Farewell to the Kings” by Robert Henderson. Location: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. “Farewell to Bob Jr. and Marley, the Lion Kings of the Serengeti for over seven years,” writes Henderson. “Bob Jr. and Marley were killed in March 2023, in separate attacks by a coalition of rival males trying to take over the pride. There has been an outpouring of grief from all over the world as word of the deaths has spread to park visitors and photographers who had the joy of encountering the lions in person, and many more who knew them only from their images. “Bob Jr. and Marley were African black-maned lions whose sire was the famous original Bob Marley. The brothers formed a coalition that shared a large pride of females and many cubs. Marley was the more handsome, while Bob Jr., many would say, was the more magnificent member of the coalition.

10 Action In Nature Quick Tips

Image
As you know, nature photography isn’t easy. Most of us get excited when we simply see wildlife or a gorgeous landscape. But simply seeing it isn’t why we photograph. We lug our gear and tripods, travel great distances and keep crazy hours because we want the perfect shot. The number of times we encounter perfection is few and far between.

Today’s Photo of the Day is “Sparks Lake Clearing Fog Reflection” by Beth Young. Location: Sparks Lake, Deschutes County, Oregon. “We arrived at Sparks Lake in anticipation of photographing landscapes of the surrounding mountains and lake at sunrise only to be socked in with a dense layer of clouds with low visibility,” explains Young. “After a brief rain, however, the fog began to lift and mirrored the topography of the peaks in the distance.” See more of Beth Young’s photography at www.optimalfocusphotography.com.
