There used to be an old advert jingle ... 'you'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent .. it sprang to mind!

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the Kruger park, South Africa

Time

It was early morning, so I still got beautiful light on the Elephants...

Lighting

This is a fine art composite, created with using the photos of the subjects and combining it with the background photos and edited to create mood and tell the story, the light was shaped according to the source of light...

Equipment

Sony A9, 70-200mm lens,

Inspiration

I just love Elephants and theu make for beautiful photos especially when drinking water, so when I saw them at the waterhole, it was a lot of fun to take photos of these 'messy drimkers...'

Editing

This is a fine art composite, created with using the photos of the subjects and combining it with the background photos and edited to create mood and tell the story, the light was shaped according to the source of light...

In my camera bag

Canon 1dx markiii, Canon R5, 24-70 mm lens, 16-35 mm lens, 708-200 mm lens, 100-400 mm lens and some filters

Feedback

Well, as I said, this is a composite, combining the Elephants with the background photos, but it all starts with a good photo, wait for action, wait for the light...if possible
