Location
Photo was taken at Lion Sands Reserve, Sabi Sands, South AfricaTime
The photo was taken at 5:40 PM in AugustLighting
Lighting was excellent and the late afternoon sun helped create the beautiful mirror effectEquipment
Canon 1D IV and Canon 100-400L at 250mmInspiration
I love elephants, especially when they are at a water hole. Their playfulness often gets multiplied when they are around water.Editing
Post processing was done in Photoshop and Nik Silver Efects. I used Photoshop to create the lighting, levels and sharpness and Nik for converting to black and whiteIn my camera bag
On Safari, I have three cameras. Currently I carry Canon 1Dx, Canon 7D II and Canon 5D III along with 400 DO with 1.4x, 70-200L III, 100-400L II, 70-300L and a few othersFeedback
One never knows what you will see on safari. Always have the camera read and take as many shots as you can. Events happen and disappear so quickly that you might miss something spectacular.
