Those Lion Eyes

Photograph by Hannes Lochner, National Geographic Your Shot

When photographer Hannes Lochner set up his camera at a water hole in South Africa's Kalahari, he tried hiding it from curious lions because "they might play with it or carry it off," he writes. "On this particular evening, I was in my vehicle just as the sun was setting, the dust in the air creating a special kind of Kalahari light, and a pride of lions arrived. By repeatedly clicking the shutter, I coaxed the ever curious cubs forward."

1. Attach the camera to a remote control car. Once you get your photos, chase the

lions with the car and watch what happens. A GoPro would be great for that.

2. A Nikon DSLR can work well for that, too.

The remote controlled buggy was a little worse for wear....
