Three headed Zebra
Canon 400D 50-500 sigma
To me Zebra makes the most beautiful monochrome images. They are not always the easiest animals to photograph. But the day they play along you get great shots.
Baby rhino on guard.

Baby rhino are my favourite animals to photograph , one of the reasons are they can be so curious when mom is looking away, especially the young bulls. This one was running around in a open clearing harrassing other rhino that wanted to have a afternoon rest.
Female and youngster

This is the same youngster with his mother. It is really a shame to think people shoot them for their horns.
Rhino portait
Canon 400D 50-500 sigma
This rhino was cooling down in a puddle next to Thlou dam in Madikwe. That gave me the opportunity to get this close up of his face. Rhino close-ups makes great portrait shots of these big animals. It actually shows a gentle side of these giants.
Buffalo stare
Canon 50D 70-200 f2.8 sigma
These giants are not always gentle. That is one stare you dont want to see when you are on foot in a Mopani thicket. This Image was taken In Kruger in the Mopani thickets surounding Shingwedzi.
Will update you guys soon

Hi Grant,
ReplyDeleteYes the zebra black and white portrait are fantastic and I think you're right, they do fit well to black and white. I like your blog a lot, it is quite a change to see all these ncie shots of another part of the globe!
Wonderful series, the closeup of the Rhino really stands out...Thomas
