"Car-L" meets the lions - YouTube


Photographed by Natural Landscape Photographer Chris McLennan.


For photography, "Car-L" of radio control buggy created by Chris' friend is used. It is possible to run almost anywhere with four wheel drive and four wheel steering.


For buggies, AquaTech's waterproof camera housing "Sound Blimp(Old model) ", and it is possible to run with the camera mounted.


Camera is NIKON'sD800E, And the shutter is remotely operated. I fixed the focus to 1 meter manually and narrowed down the aperture to minimize blurring over a wide range.


Carefully set up ... ...

I approached the male lion resting in the shade of a shade.

Buggy camera view will be like this


Close ... I was able to leave this place safely after this buggy whether the stomach was not vacant.


It is a challenge for the female lion group this time.

Approaching closer ...

The distance gradually approached gradually.

I struck the tire with "Gabri" and ran as it was.


After that, the figure of Car-L that was collected safely. I'm glad that it was good.


The right rear wheel is pointing in a strange direction, but for the time being, it is alive. Confirm the image of the camera at once.

Is not it a good example that the world of photography spreads out with a little idea? Various imagination seems to spread.
