It was still light enough to see the red gravel and earth road, which provides a striking backdrop for a golden male lion that stood motionless in front of our vehicle while searching for its pride. Zambia is one of the few countries where visitors can take night game drives, but only with licensed guides. As dusk falls, a spotter stands in the front seat with a powerful spotlight in hand, and this evening was off to an impressive start. These bright spotlights are very useful for night game viewing, but night photography of wild animals is usually very difficult because they are usually moving. In this case, the presence of dusky ambient light, in addition to the spotlight, my image stabilized lens, and the motionless stance of the lion, allowed me to make this image hand-held at a very slow ¼ of a second shutter speed.
