This is one more elephant shot from quite low down (two inches off the turf) recently in the Masai Mara in Kenya, similar to the one I posted last week here.

The sky was very kind too, in colour it represented a gun metal grey, and the light played out nicely over this large female elephant and the plain too. The colour version of this is impressive (if I can say that) but I felt this also renders strongly in monochrome. In fact, It’s one of the few that works equally well in both treatments.

Taken using a Nikon D300 with 12-24 zoom lens at 20mm, f/11.0, 1/180th, and ISO 500.
