Mid afternoon in UK summaerLighting
Hard afternoon light. In UK and August.Equipment
Nikon D3200 - basic entry level DSLR with the 55-300 DX lens. Hand held.Inspiration
The fact the elephant was throwing dirt across it's back. Though I did get a number at same time, this was the choice because of the earth throwing.Editing
I used the google Nik collection filter - Indian summer. After cloning out the fencing. Used Photoshop elements.In my camera bag
Nikon D3200 - 55-300 and 18-140. Or one of these plus 35mm primeFeedback
Just go for it. Big aperture for a shallow depth of field, but watch shutter speed when using long zoom even if you do have image stabilisation.
