Wildlife photographer Hardik Shelat waited eight hours for a "dream" photograph of a mighty lion drinking from a watering hole.

With the help of a steel-enforced custom-made camera box, wildlife photographer and conservationist Donal Boyd captured intimate portraits of elephants and lions that otherwise would not be possible.

The winners of the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year photo contest were announced in October 2018, but now the National History Museum has followed it up with the top People's Choice shots. The winning image this year shows a special moment between male lions.

Wedding photographer Jonas Peterson has captured dozens of beautiful weddings all over the world. But even with his impressive resume and archive of incredible images, he says a wedding he recently shot in Masai Mara, Kenya might just top them all.

“I’ve traveled the world and shot weddings pretty much everywhere, but no place blew my mind in the same way Masai Mara did,” Peterson tells us in an email. “I secretly almost dreaded shooting the wedding there, knowing how difficult it is to shoot images that represent a place, especially during the constraints of a wedding day.”

Getting up close and personal with large lions is really only an option for a few people in this world; for the rest of us, capturing close-ups requires a bit of engineering. Enter wildlife photographer Steve Mandel and his LionCam.

On Sunday I covered what was easily the hardest football game I’ve ever been asked to shoot. In turn it was the most fun I’ve ever had on an assignment.

National Geographic photographer Michael "Nick" Nichols has spent the last few years in the Serengeti capturing NatGeo-worthy, one-of-a-kind photos of lions.

Dereck and Beverly Joubert have spent the past 30 years living among lions in the African country of Botswana, capturing incredible photographs and footage of the majestic creatures that have garnered widespread praise. They are considered two of the world's preeminent experts on the big cats, having created tens of films, books, scientific papers, and articles in National Geographic magazine (along with a list of filmmaking awards, including five Emmys).

CBS' 60 Minutes recently paid a visit to the Joubert's, creating the fascinating video above that shows how the duo live and work, and how they've dedicated their lives to documenting and protecting the cats from human threats.

UK-based wildlife photographers Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas got the Internet's attention a couple years ago with the BeetleCam, a special remote controlled DSLR that allowed them to capture close-up photos of animals in the wild that photographers would have difficultly strolling up to. After the success of that experiment, they decided to return to Africa last summer with upgraded (and armored) versions of the BeetleCam in order to photograph lions in Kenya.

The BeetleCam is a remote controlled car that has a Canon 400D DSLR …
