Nice lion photos

I've been working with Denis Callet ( a local wildlife photographer) this summer. We've gotten some great images. Basically I've worked hard to find the locations, and he knows the photography techniques. It's been a lot of fun!

Usually August and September are slow for wildlife - it gets hot, and dry, and they just don't seem very active. But this year is different. I'm not a biologist, so I don't know why...

So...triplets?

Nice stuff you two.

Great shots. Thanks for sharing. Much more than your basic trail-cam I'm thinking.
I stumbled on a fresh kill a couple hours ago in Limekiln Canyon. You would have to know someone at SoCal Gas to get access to the property though.

Bummer! I've been in Limekiln I think (north of Little T canyon road, right?)...didn't know it was private property.

Edit: Nope, I was confused... I bet you mean Porter Ranch.

The really good shot is from a Canon 40D, the others are a Pentax point and shoot. I still like my Bushnells for video, but of course they don't get color at night.

Yup. The entry kiosk is at Tampa and Sesnon. I'll be working there for the next couple days so I'll check on it. Maybe I'll give Seth a call and see if any of his are over that way.

You weren't lion.

AWESOME!

Man...that's one animal I want to see up there. I saw a cub once on my mountain bike years ago. All I wanted to do was stop. What I did was go...as calmly as possible.

Thanks for sharing those. Excellent shots.

It is awesome to see them in person in the wild. I've seen more than my share but I have to say - I'll never really get use to it. Every encounter burns a couple frames into my brain.

I'm glad to see that the tagged one from Glendale is laying low.
