Race you to the mudbath!

11.49am, I was watching a herd of eles ambling along to a large waterhole to drink and mud roll, scrambling out in front were a few youngsters that wanted to be the first to get there, just like a bunch of school kids! Depicted here is a 4 year old ele in youthful enthusiasm, quickly switching to f/22 and 1/10s to capture the moment in a slow pan. One of two out of many many frames to get a result I was happy with, that's the nature of slow pan photography.
