Just some Giraffes

Gallery: WildlifePosted July 1, 2013139 views5 comments

At the risk of posting yet another elephant, here's some variety.

This is another image from my recent foray to Etosha.
I just had to wait for the right moment to trip the shutter as the 3 giraffes at the back were moving in file towards my left.

It's full frame left to right.

Techs:
Nikon D3s
Nikkor 500mm f4 VR-II
f8.0 | 1/1000 SS | ISO-900

The composition has an interesting visual flow that works Morkel. A bit more space on the left would have perfected that.

Geez, I want a Giraffe. I agree about space on the left, but this is a nice grouping and to add a touch of canvas would be pretty easy.

Love the diagonal angles of the necks Morkel. Agree a tiny bit more room on the left would be ideal, but this still works very nicely!

OK, I understand people wanting a bit more room on the left, but this is a really cool image. All those necks make for a very graphic image! nice one!!
