It’s Raining it’s Pouring
On an afternoon shoot in the Mara we came across four lions looking at a Monitor Lizard. It was right in front of them but it was not moving. The lions were all looking at it and you could tell they didn’t know what to make of it. I assumed they would capture it the moment it started moving. Most cats can’t resist a chase. However, it started to rain and the lizard started to run. As suspected the lions went for it but when they got close the lizard whacked them with his tail. They retreated and this behavior repeated. Then it became a total downpour, visibility was difficult; the lizard managed to slip away…
It was a total downpour.

Just before the rain. I wasn’t thrilled with the horizon line but we closed our roof just before the downpour and I couldn’t stand to eliminate the horizon line. Still, I liked the mood, just before the torrential rain.
