 Glad you used a long lens!! lol Great
-- Be nice to everyone! Thanks. Was very close at 560mm, this was a massive Bull.
-- "Wisdom comes with age. Sometimes age comes alone!" Ian Weatherburn Photography Yea.. dangerous!!
-- Be nice to everyone!  Now that is a face to see
nice job -- St. Francis said, “A man who uses his hands is a laborer. One who uses his hands and mind is a craftsman. He who uses his hands, and his mind, and his heart is an artist.”  Wow, that light is amazing. The texture on his skin almost doesn't look real. This guy's seen it all...the scratches on his tusk and his ragged ear...560mm was brave.
 --  Thanks. The light was fantastic.
Elephants are normally quite placid in all honesty. A Bull in musth can be a bit dangerous but otherwise they are very cool creatures. We got really close to this guy. -- "Wisdom comes with age. Sometimes age comes alone!" Ian Weatherburn Photography Thanks a lot. I love Elephants
-- "Wisdom comes with age. Sometimes age comes alone!" Ian Weatherburn Photography Yeah, 99% of the time animals don't want anything to do with you, especially if you treat them with respect. The thing is, if something goes wrong you've now got several tonnes of angry elephant upon you.
--  wonderful shot Ian..I like the composition and the crisp focus!
-- Spiritual people inspire me... Religious people scare the bejesus out of me  |
