I was in Liuwa Plain for the start of the rains. I wanted to photograph the animals enjoying the rain after the long, hard dry season. I decided to take images at night, when I could use flash to highlight the raindrops. For this image I positioned a wireless off-camera flash behind the hyena to create a rim-light around the animal and highlight the raindrops. I then waited for the hyena to pass in front of the flash. It was a challenging shot to take as I had to judge the position of the hyena and manually focus my camera by the light of a very dim head-torch.
