We arrived in Ngorongoro Crater at sunrise and quickly drove to the opposite side of the caldera in search of a Black Rhino when there was an un-expected rain shower. The light rain seemed to excite the animals and they started to become more active and all of a sudden two Rhinos emerged from the grasses where they were laying down resting. They started wandering among a small herd of Zebras.

Location
While on Safari in Tanzania we spent a couple of days at the Ngorongoro CraterTime
After a picnic lunch in the crater we headed out again exploring the far side of the crater in search of the Black Rhinos. We found two lying down but shortly after we arrived they got up and started slowly wandering into a group of zebras.Lighting
The overcast cloudy skies provided a nice flat lightEquipment

The Rhinos wandering among the Zebras gave a good sense of the place within the craterEditing
Due to the flat plain colors I thought converting the image to B&W would have more impact. I also cropped the image, adjusted blacks, whites and sharpeningIn my camera bag
In the field I usually carry two bodies, one with a long lens and the other a wide lens.Feedback
Be there and be ready
