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 helpEquipment
It was taken on a Sony Mirrorless cameraInspiration
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 RoomIn my camera bag
Canon 5D Mark IIFeedback
Be prepared to fail - keep trying I took about 20 shots to get this one
