Sunset on our final night on safariLighting
Conscious light was fading as the sunset.Equipment
Canon camera and 300mm lens. No tripod or flash.Inspiration
The silhouette of the giraffe was actually by accident. I had been taking lots of photos of yet another stunning African sunset using acacia trees as the silhouette. I jokingly said to my guide “I could really do with an animal to come over the horizon now.” As if by magic, a giraffe wandered into shot.Editing
Cropped slightly.In my camera bag
Canon EOS 1300d and 50mm and 300mm lens. I do also shoot on iPhone 8 Plus but not on this occasion.Feedback
Patience! All good things come to those who wait.
