It was late. The gate of the camp we stayed in almost closed. We had followed a cheetah for too long. In a hurry we drove on the tarred roads of Etosh by bylifeconnected

Behind The Lens

Location

In elephants conservation centre "Adventures with elephants" in Bela-Bela, South Africa

Time

7:45 am as the elephants are left free to walk around and feed themselves

Lighting

Nothing particular, just an overcasted sky

Equipment

Sony Nex-6000 and lens Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS at 34mm, handheld.

Inspiration

Well protected by his mother and another female elephant, this 11 days old elephant (90cm high, slighly less than 100 kgs) was the star of the morning.

Editing

Usual stuff. Removing highlights, pushing up slightly the shadows to reveal details of the skin

In my camera bag

This would depends of the kind of travel, but these days I'm shooting with a Sony A7R MKII with Sony 70-400 G f/5.6 for wildlife + Sony A7 and Sony/Zeiss 16-35 f/4

Feedback

Be patient, move slowly, don't make any sudden movements. Low down to the eye level of your subject. Observe adult elephants reaction and retreat if they feel annoyed.
