[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is an African elephant.
Feel free to discover more photographs and info in my
Kruger National Park travelogue.
Most of my pictures were taken with a 400 mm mounted on a MarkIII. This one is taken with a 5D with a Sigma 150.
I'm not sure whether it was the Sigma 150 or the Canon [email protected] It doesn't really matter.
ISO was 200.
I like the way the trunk is photographed here. In the background you'll see broken trees and branches. He's been busy:-).
Thanks a lot for looking and have a nice day.

Hi Annick.
You have captured great detail in the elephant skin and trunk, all those wrinkles. Beautifully exposed in his environment, great colour and perfect focus.

Hi Annick,
Great details in the skin with natural colours. You need to be close to having this picture at 150mm? I fear that he charge.
