Unfortunately not the best time for good photography as it was midday with the sun at its harshestLighting
Due to harsh light with dark shadows, this worked best in Black and white conversionEquipment

When I saw the giraffes with the calf, I decided to wait exactly for a moment like this. It shows the intimacy and love that animals also experience to their own kindEditing
Yes, from RAW to JPEG and converted to Black and white and added some background blur to make the subjects "pop"In my camera bag
Two bodies: D500 and D3200 Three lenses: The Nikkor 200-500 f5.6 being my favourite. Beanbag Extra SD cards Battery ChargersFeedback
PATIENCE is key! We tend to pass animals and looking for those "special" species like the big cats, but sometimes taking time at the less photographed animals can award you with the best photos. Wait for the interaction, that is when magic happens. Try to get these sightings during golden hour
