Now here's a different safari animal: a tiny bat hanging upside down in a very thorny bush. Seen in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, Africa.
This photo was taken using an M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro lens @150mm. Then enlarged using the Topaz labs Gigapixel tool and subsequently cropped to its current dimensions. Otherwise it would have had a bit too much of a "Where's Waldo?" factor...
Not the best picture ever, but too cute not to share here.
See where this photo was taken (approximately; the GPS tracker ran a bit out of sync).

These shots were taken from video stills captured in 2016 on the first Sony A7s camera at a time when I was learning how log images worked and how best to color grade them in Resolve. Captured in Slog2 / S-Gamut.
The original resolution wasn't very high for a still, so I upscaled it using Gigapixel AI, which works pretty darn well!
I don't remember exactly how I colored these, but I'm pretty sure the foundation was a filmic color emulation based on a Kodak print stock.
The lighting setup was a 300W halogen stage par bounced off of a sheet of unbleached muslin and dimmed for a more golden color. The rim light from the right was a desk lamp pointed at Ayesha :)
Lens wise I want to say it was an older adapted Contax Zeiss 50mm?
