RC Car with Camera Meets a Group of Lions

submitted by pumkinandstorm

1 decade 1 year ago

(youtube) "Car L" meets the lions. The remote controlled 4x4 camera buggy gets up close and personal as it is stalked by this curious pride of lions in Botswana.

The "Car L" project was hatched by Chris McLennan and engineered by Carl Hansen to capture unique images of lions with a Nikon D800E, fired remotely by Chris McLennan using a trigger system built into the remote control unit.

Meh, it's a Nikon. So it's not really that cool.

They were some pretty cool shots! I've got an old DSLR and a friend of mine has a million and one RC cars in various stages of repair. I feel a plan hatching...

Such natural "reactions".

This is a Nikon ad.

The lioness on the left in some of the group shots seems to have a blind right eye. Can't make out any damage around the socket, but it seems like there may be a scar on the left side of her head and a torn lip.

I had a cat that looked pretty roughed up like that after picking fights with coyotes. Tough ol' bastard. I wonder what that lion got on the bad side of?

> seems to have a blind right eye.

she looks heterochromic
