The shot was taken early to mid morningLighting
The buffalo was in the shade on a very bright dayEquipment
Canon 1Ds, Canon 100-400L at 400mmInspiration
African buffaloes always look mean ! I was snapping away and got lucky when the oxpecker landed for a photobomb opportunityEditing
I shoot in raw, so basic sharpening and adjustment of levels and contrastIn my camera bag
This was taken long ago. Currently I have Canon 1D IV, Canon 1Dx and Canon 7DII along with 400 DO with 1.4x, 100-400L II, 70-200L III and other L lensesFeedback
Even ordinary situations of shooting wildlife can turn into something interesting with the arrival of the unexpected.
