have to agreed with this .... :bsmilie::sweat:he could have used a 'metal barrel hide' another photographer used, and avoided the dieseases. Got passion but not enough brains IMHO.
Not to detract from the brilliant shots, but perhaps it's a case of 'Dedicated photographer stares death and disease in the face' to gain more fame, recognition and command higher prices? I doubt if he's that stupid.
i would just build a waterproof concrete hide with a gardened roof to blend in with the environment, air-con, beds and fridge and build a moat around it with water, rocks and palm trees surrounding .... and rent it out to wildlife photogs afterwards :bsmilie:
it was also mentioned in the article that the lions dont regard him as a human cuz when he's partially submerged, the lions have no clue what he was, and thus didnt attack.I'm pretty sure he had some protection else he wont be alive today. It was mentioned that his head and shoulders were exposed so why wont the lions attack him?
I'm sure as a wildlife PG, he would have some 600mm if not 800mm at his disposal. With 8 lions side by side, thats at least 12ft wide. with 600mm you can take full frame of a bird about 5 inch size from 5m distant. Sure wayang one lah. He most likely took it from the other side of the waterhole.
Anyway, his shots are great.:thumbsup:
