Location
I took this photo at the Amboseli National Park which is situated in southern Kenya. It is known for its large elephant herds and views of Mount Kilimanjaro.Time
One of My favorite images l took it in July 2016 at about 5:30 Pm just before the sunrise as we were having the evening game drive.Lighting
Well, l must say the natural light just before the sunset worked for me and being at the right place at the right time for the shot.Equipment
This was shot on a canon 6d Aperture 4/1?ISO 100?Shutter 1/400?Focal Length 120/1?Inspiration
During the game drive, l saw the elephants close to each other from afar as we moved nearer l saw the shot and told the driver to stop l decided to click very fast before they could move and l was impressed by what l got.Editing
I did a bit of edit on lightroom brightness adjustments, contrast, exposure, shadows, clarity, and changed it to monochrome.In my camera bag
I normally carry my canon 6D, 50-millimeter lens,16-40 millimeter wide-angle lens,100milimetre macro lens an extra set of batteries ,yangnuo flash, and a Manfrotto tripod and my MacBook pro.Feedback
Whenever you are at the park or on a game drive always be on the lookout and have your camera ready with the right settings, lenses because a moment to be captured my present itself at any time and it will always be a quick one.
