Elephant Silhouette At Sunset - This was captured toward the end of our last trip to Botswana from our photo boat, just moments before the sun slipped below the horizon for the night. This is one of those unexpected times a fast 20FPS frame rate makes a difference on a slower animal. The only shot in the series where the foot was perfect was this one. The one just before this and just after were both slightly off. Sony A1, 600mm, 1/1250th, F/4, ISO 1000 (I would have used a slower shutter speed for a lower ISO, but wanted to be safe since I was hand-holing the 600mm from a rocking boat)
