Title: Arreze's Wild Safari Photography
Post by: sanrio on September 20, 2017, 01:26:52 pm
As most people know, I've been on a Wild Safari Photography experience where I got to capture stunning photos of wild animals that are most commonly native to Africa and America.
This experience was very much a fun thing for me to partake in, if you yourself would like to see these beautiful creatures, you can check out their website and social media here (https://www.knowsleysafariexperience.co.uk/)

WARNING
These photos do contain dead animals and meat, like cows, lamb, etc.


You CAN use my photos for:
- Art references
- Photo Manipulations
- Avatars
- Graphics
If you're going to do any of these things, a credit back would be nice.
You can basically use my photos for anything you like, but please do not repost them without my permission.

Overall I took 624 photos, meaning I've only selected a few photos to provide on this thread.
It's most likely that I have more photos of the animals, so, if you would like to see more photos of a specific animal or breed then tell me and I'll see if I can provide. Animals like the Red Hog, White Rhino, and Zebra, I won't be able to provide any more photos as they weren't as active as the other animals.
The Lions and Tigers were the main focus of the Wild Safari experience so I have quite a few unposted photos that aren't here, I may post some on my DeviantArt.

Unfortunatly, for most of the wild, more agressive, animals there was a crossed fence to proctect me and the animals. There's not really much I can do but you can still see the majority of the animal.

Let's get started, shall we?

Sealions
Disclaimer - Due to the Sealions staying in the water for the duration of the time I was there, we went down into the glass wall area so there will be reflections in some of the photos, there's nothing I can do to fix it.

You've got some stunning photography skills here!
I especially love the amazing action shot of that lioness carrying her food, while the males are simply lazing around. I enjoyed the view of the pretty patterns along the tigers, and I look forward to see you pursue with a small photography career! Would encourage you to continue taking photographs like these. c:

Thank you!<3 The lionesses we saw were quite aggressive towards the males (One of them was castrated meaning they have no testosterone to grow a mane of any kind, he's called Ted and can be seen in the first photo of the pride section.)
The Tigers were probably also my favourite to capture, their colours really stand out from the grass and fog, although, it was quite cold that day so it was a bit of a struggle to get as many photos as I wanted due to my fingers getting cold. And I most likely won't pursue a career in photography, but I still would like to keep it as a hobby.

Wow, these are some gorgeous photos! You really have a good eye for composition and that makes for very interesting and thoughtful shots! Keep up the great work! c:
Thank you so much, Kyn! I tried my best to get photos at a nice angle so you can clearly see the animals without the mesh cluttering the photo too much.<3

Thank you very much! It was quite foggy earlier in the day when I got to see the lions and tigers up close so I tried my best to wait until they were more close up, if I ever get some more photos I'll be sure to post them!<3

Oh my goodness these are wonderful! Man, these make me miss going to the zoo back in my younger days. It's always so amazing to look at animals you never see every day. Especially ones as big and powerful as lions and giraffes. Lovely job! ^^

Thank you, Azzy! Going to the zoo is quite a fun thing to do, I definitely recommend it, and I agree, it's quite the experience.

These photos are amazing, Arreze! You've got a real talent with it, I especially like the ones of the lions! :D
Thanks, Vortex! I'm glad everyone's taking such interest with the Lions, it was very much a once in a lifetime experience to be able to get so close to them.
