Gavin is a game ranger , his love for animals show in the photographs he takes. Gavin is a leader who has given his voluntary time to look after rhinos that are being killed to extinction in RSA. I guess if this mind blowing photo was taken in raw it could , by adjusting the levels and colour, become a wall picture to be proud of. Great shot

Location
It was taken in the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Game Park (HiP) Zululand, Kwazulula Natal, South Africa. I have my own Guest Lodge and Safari company. Which allows me to cary out daily safari's taking local and international guests on Game Drives into the park.Time
It was mid day - so not any Golden hour photographyLighting
It was midday so i used a fast shutter speed and low ISO and F-stop. this allowed for great coloration on the subject with bright back lighting.Equipment

very unique picture of a wild elephant feeding above you.Editing
No - a little adjustment on contrast.In my camera bag

Only do this with a trained and experienced guide, whi knows the area and wild animal behavior - not always advisable tho.
