Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in Southern Africa, Botswana, in the Okavango Delta river.

Time

This photo was captured midmorning

Lighting

African sun during midmorning winter or summer is very bright and the photo came out better than I thought.

Equipment

Canon 5D mark II lense 100mm f 2.8

Inspiration

Was so awe struck at the wild elephant being so calm eating it's breakfast while we just float by on the boat.

Editing

Yes lightened the shadows and sharpened it.

In my camera bag

Canon 5D lense 100mm f 2.8

Feedback

When doing wildlife shoots off a boat it helps if your driver is working with you to capture the best shots and speed when coming past the wildlife.
