During our time in Zimbabwe, we scheduled some time to visit a lion outreach camp called “Lion Encounter”. Their mission isn’t to just raise lions from birth and give them to zoos, but to introduce them back to the wild where they belong. Sara and I were allowed to take an hour walk with a few 18 month old lions. What we found especially funny was that lions usually sleep about 18 hours per day, much like our cat at home. In fact, when we first encountered the lions they were doing just that – sleeping. Things picked up a bit as they awoke from their slumber and we were able to get some great photos and make great memories.
This is the final installment from Lion Encounter with a simply processed photo and a more worked up version. I know this may seem hypocritical that not too long ago I ranted with hundreds of words describing that it’s good to focus on one’s photography roots, but sometimes I think some photos need that extra push off the cliff to be printed large and worthy to be hung over a fireplace. Maybe I should call it, “Shane Gorski – Classic.” HA! This lioness was photographed as our guides were describing various lion behaviors and discussing the various stages to reintroduce a lion to the wild. To me, this lion has no hope. She loved lying on this dead tree near the stream a little too much. As we continued on our walk with the lions, one of our guides had to poke this lioness in the butt to get her movin’. He was met with a cold stare, but with a little verbal persuasion the lioness moved on her way.

Noticed a super bright star (Venus?), the brightest I've seen with my naked eye so I grabbed my Nikon for these shots.

Unused artwork layers for front and back cover, 4000 Weeks Holiday by Ian Dury & The Music Students, 1983.
I pulled this old photo out of my pile of folders to share another post-process technique I have used to make up for bad backgrounds.
This time I took a previous session's test photo of a blanket and placed it behind the layer of the new photo. I erased the old background to reveal the blanket and used a colorize action to turn the blanket to a blue that matched the blue of the new photo. To help transition between the two layers, I used a blur paintbrush and ran it across the edges of the white blanket where it met the new background. I found this to be much much faster than cloning a new background (see the previous upload in my photostream) although with this technique you have to be careful that the background doesn't look fake and too different from the foreground. (I'm still debating whether this example works or not but I mainly uploaded it for the technique itself, not my first attempt at executing the technique. If you take a photo of your backdrop before the current session, then you have a much better chance of it looking natural when you use this technique.)
All of the useful logs that were removed from the site have been sent to a small mill in Concrete, WA to be sawed into lumber and dried for use in the new homes.
