Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on the Chobe River very close to the border between Botswana and Namibia - all in all a beautiful part of the world.

Time

Early in the morning - as the elephants come down to the river to wash and generally relate to each other.

Lighting

African early morning sun - you really don't need too much help

Equipment

It was taken on a Sony Mirrorless camera

Inspiration

I was looking for a shot of an elephant that had some movement about it - so many of the photos that you see of Elephants convey a sense of stillness; which is fine but on this occasion I wanted something different.

Editing

Not much - a little bit of work on Light Room

In my camera bag

Canon 5D Mark II

Feedback

Be prepared to fail - keep trying I took about 20 shots to get this one
