Location
This photo was taken in the Olifants West Game Reserve at the Singwe Lodge, South Africa.Time
This is a good example, that you can always encounter wildlife in the bush. We picked up a vehicle and drove back to the camp when we encountered this magnificent Elephant. This photo was take on the 12th March 2016 at 11:07.Lighting
It was an overcast day, the perfect condition for a midday photo.Equipment
This was shot with Canon 650D, EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 ISII lens. No other equipment was used.Inspiration
I love nature and in particular the South African bush. It is a great privilege, having access to a game park like this. I have no particular animal that I prefer and whenever I take photos, I always try to capture the beauty of the subject.Editing
The picture was taken in RAW and I used Photoshop Elements to process the image, including converting it to black and white. Otherwise nothing more than the basics and a bit of cropping.In my camera bag
I normally pack my camera (Canon 650D) and the EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 ISII lens as well a EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ISII lens. Also in the bag I keep a spare battery, memory card and cleaning gear.Feedback
There are probably may different ways to capture a beautiful images, however the first step is being there. Always be prepared for a siting, and finally enjoy what you are doing.
