That is beautiful, though the small tree scale gives the giraffe the look of one of those giant dinosaurs roaming a prehistoric land - fabulous.

forgive me for asking, but has the photo' been photoshopped, the light on the Giraffe is it from a flash ? My reason for asking is that the sun is behind the subject. No offence intended

Behind The Lens

Location

Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda Africa

Time

Photographed during a Sunrise Safari

Lighting

The African Sunrise made for a spectacular background and such soft morning light.

Equipment

Canon 5Dmkiii with the Canon 100-400mm IS, hand held

Inspiration

Seeing this majestic animal in its natural habitat was a perfect combination.

Editing

Used 2 versions of the photo, 1 for the background and 1for the Giraffe then merged in PS

In my camera bag

My 5Dmkiii, several lenses and the Fuji X-T1 and lenses.

Feedback
