Muzi pan, paddling amoungst the pelicans, just special

Imagine late afternoon, dusty atmosphere, golden setting light. This giraffe wandered into view and reached up for the lowest tasty morsel of leaves

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in South Africa whilst in the bush

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

As this is a collage the more important aspect was the silhouette of the tree and the sky, which are 2 separate shots

Equipment

I my DSLR with an 18 -135 lens

Inspiration

These trees are synonymous with this are, and they make great subject material

Editing

Most of this image is post-processing. The first image is that of the tree. The second image is of a late afternoon sunset sky. The third image is of rusty metal. I layered the images in photoshop using layers and masks. Finishing the image off with an overall colour tone.

In my camera bag

Canon 7D, Canon 80D. 18-135m lens, 100-400 lens, wide angle lens, nifty fifty, plus gadgets collected over the years.

Feedback

If you're looking to do a similar image have an idea in mind of what you want to end up with. If you are ever stuck remember "google is your friend". You can be sure someone has had a similar problem that they have had to resolve. Most of my photoshop skills are self taught. I pick a project and then work on it.
