Location
In the enclosure of giraffes in Szeged Zoo, HungaryTime
In the morning, shortly after the giraffes came from their house.Lighting
It was a sunny day with strong lights.Equipment
Canon EOS 40D in my hand, EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, I used build-in flash.Inspiration
I wanted to take a good giraffe photo from bottom perspective, so I tried to find a good position at their legs. I made the giraffes very curious.. It was a little risky too at their legs (a giraffe kick is lethal...), but finally I was able to shot this photo.Editing
Some basic modification of colours and contrast. There was a giraffe nose at the upper-left corner from a third giraffe, I decided to delete it from the photo.In my camera bag
The camera and two lenses.Feedback
Be cautious!
