Working as a wildlife photographer seems like the perfect job. You’re always on an adventure, one with nature, tracking and capturing beautiful photographs of majestic creatures.

野生動物攝影師似乎是一份完美的工作。你總是在冒險，一個與大自然，跟蹤和捕捉美麗的照片宏偉的生物。

Well, 69-year-old wildlife photographer Gren Sowerby from Whitley Bay in Northumberland is living the dream, taking pictures of animals, landscapes, and people in Kenya, Tanzania, Crete, and the United Kingdom. Sowerby’s name recently went viral on the internet because of a burst of photos he took, showing a lion yawning and then smiling and winking at the photographer. The photos are absolutely stunning, so it’s no wonder they captured nearly everyone’s attention.

Sowerby told Sophie Finnegan from SWNS that he got the shock of his life as he leaned in to take a photo and the lion let out “a huge roar.”

Sowerby告訴來自SWNS的Sophie Finnegan，當他俯身準備拍照時，獅子發(fā)出了“巨大的吼聲”，這是他一生中最震驚的時刻。

“He roared to say: ‘I’m the King of the Jungle’ and then I couldn’t believe it when he smiled at me like when someone winks at you to say like: ‘Haha!’”

“他吼著說:‘我是叢林之王’，然后當他沖我笑的時候，就像有人沖你眨眼說:‘哈哈!’的時候，我簡直不敢相信。”

“I was probably 10-15 meters away and he was with a lioness, she was crossing a stream. They had a kill in the bushes and I think he let out a roar probably to say that he was full!” Sowerby told SWNS. “I was taken aback by the sheer size and scale of him. From him being very still and quiet then for him to let out a big boom was quite something.”

“我大概在10-15米遠的地方，他和一只母獅子在一起，她正在過河。他們在灌木叢中殺了一個人，我想他大概是吼了一聲，說他吃飽了!索爾比告訴SWNS。我被他的體型和規(guī)模嚇了一跳。從他非常安靜的時候，發(fā)出一聲巨響，對他來說是相當了不起的。”

Sowerby has been a photographer for over 37 years!

Sowerby當了37年的攝影師!

The photographer has spent the last 37+ years taking pictures of wildlife, landscapes, portraits, as well as live music. Though he started out with a 35mm film camera, he switched over to digital photography back in 2003.

這位攝影師在過去的37年里拍攝了野生動物、風景、肖像以及現場音樂。雖然他一開始用的是35毫米膠片相機，但在2003年他轉向了數碼攝影。

“I started 40 years ago photographing my daughter and I got the bug. It has stayed with me all this time and it’s the thought of getting better images that keeps me going,” the photographer revealed how his love for the art first started. “The new technology is part of it, but mainly it’s to get the perfect image of your subject that makes you happiest.”

“40年前我開始給我女兒拍照，然后我就迷上了攝影。這張照片一直陪伴著我，是想拍出更好的照片的想法讓我堅持了下來。”攝影師透露了他對藝術的熱愛是如何開始的。“新技術是其中的一部分，但主要是為了讓你拍攝對象的完美形象讓你最開心。”

What’s more, Sowerby told Bored Panda more details about the lion photo shoot and talked about he maintains his passion for photography. “He had just fed on a kill and was with his lioness. They both went for a drink at the stream, separately, before resting up.”

更重要的是，索爾比告訴Bored Panda關于拍攝獅子的更多細節(jié)，并談到他仍然保持著對攝影的熱情。“它剛吃了一頭獵物，和它的母獅在一起。他們各自到小溪邊去喝水，然后休息。”

“It’s easy to miss a shot in the excitement, just act calm and hopefully it will all come good when you look back through your images!”

“在興奮的時候很容易錯過一個鏡頭，只要表現得冷靜，希望當你回顧你的照片時一切都會變好!”
