[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this shot just as a storm broke, the wilderbeest were nervous, jumping all the time.
I choose to use a very slow shutter speed to capture the movement.
I took this photo from the land rover and used a beanbag to stabilize the heavy 300mm 2.8 lens, plus 2x extender.

Hello Luis!
Very nice and unusual capture.I liked motion blur,POV,framing
and visual impact a lot.TFS...:-)

Lovely shot! Really like the sense of movement in this image and the neutral background makes it all stand out nicely. One very minor niggle for me is the tips of both the animals tails are cropped but that said it doesn't detract from the photo much. TFS.

Privet Luis.
Very dynamically - one second prior to impact!! For a long time examined - a fascinating photo.

Very nice shot Luis, I like the blur from the action. Very good capture and composition. Well done.

Indeed tip of tails missing, but it doesnt matter much. Movement pretty weel captured. Lovely pic. TFS
