The first time I saw this image I thought - you need a manicure.
My 9 year old daughter just walked up and saw this and she said - I bet it would take a long time to paint those toe nails! And then she said - paint them pink. If you ever have to take that elephant to the zoo you will know which one it is. Canon 10D 300mm 1.4x Subject dist: 10.5m 1/25 sec, f/14 ISO: 200 Don't even ask what that 1/25 f/14 is all about - this was my first time to see wild elephants (and my second trip using this camera). I had just arrived at this reserve, dumped my stuff in the tent, and went to the lodge for a late lunch before the game drive. Just as we were being served dessert someone said - the elephants are in the hide. I looked at my guide, Rod, and we hurried out to the hide. Oh my. There they were - a whole herd - and babies! and no camera! I ran back to the tent, grabbed the gear and rushed back and they were still there. I was so excited! I must have moved the dial without realizing it - the beginning of this series is f14@1/200 and then it's f14@1/25. How dumb is that. Another lesson learned the hard way! |
