Location
This was taken at Satao elerai camp in Amboseli. It was my first visit to Kenya and had just sat down for lunch . I looked down to the valley I could see a herd of elephants walking towards the watering hole below in the valley . I was mesmerized by the sight of these magnificent beasts with the dust rising behind themTime
This was during lunch time at the campLighting
The whole scene was magical with the dust rising behind themEquipment
Nikon D500 with the 400 mm f2.8 nikkor lensInspiration
I wanted to capture the moment when I first saw the African elephantsEditing
I have colour corrected the image and enhanced the sense of drama already in the imageIn my camera bag
At the time of the image it was the Nikon D7000 with the sigma wide angle lensFeedback
It’s about enjoying every moment and when a moment feels special to me I capture it
