Elephant "fight"--Hwange, Zimbabwe
Jul 10, 2017 14:05:29 #
Here is a sequence of four photos which show one elephant pick a fight with another elephant, getting the second elephant to its knee--then they make up. I suppose because the second elephant submitted. This was a case of f/8 and be there.
The photos were taken about 50km inside Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. The first 3 photos were taken at 200mm full frame distance. The 4th at 300mm full frame distance. Even though they had "made up" it was a bit noisy so I moved back a bit, I guess. It happened fast, and the whole thing is a bit of a blur.
Enjoy the photos.

Yes. Thank you. Definitely right place at right time. I am glad I had the camera set at a basic utility setting.

Great capture. Was this a burst? Or did you frame each shot individually?
