elephant calf amboseli

This is a revise of a picture from a previous post, Elephant Calf Crossing of October last year. Since then I’ve refined it with an improved appearance and made it available as a Giclée fine art print here.

For more on the background of this picture, you can still read about it at original post of last October.

Taken using a Nikon D200 with a 70-200 f2.8 lens with a 1.4 converter at f/8.0, 1/250 and ISO 100

Spot on photography David, I’m curious how you got the shot so low, or is it cropped?

It is cropped a little, from both the top and bottom. I think the distance of the elephants and the longer focal length accentuated the low shot effect. I was seated in a vehicle, so there were no special circumstances there :)

Absolutely beautiful David. How long have you been a photographer?

Hi Keon, I’ve been photographing for more than twenty years, but of wildlife for about five years. I’m hoping to continue this for twenty more years!
