Alone on the plains of the Maasai Mara

[Morkel Erasmus]

What's a portfolio without an attempt at the "Lonely Tree"?
I have a couple of those, and will keep shooting until I get that unicorn frame.

This was taken handheld while on safari in the Mara Triangle in Kenya.

Techs:
Nikon D800
Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 @ 35mm
f8.0 | 1/160 SS | ISO-320

I like how the approaching storm seems to be framing the lone tree. I think it may work a little more effectively with about half of the foreground cropped...WDYT?

[John Mack]

Nice dramatic clouds. Like the lone tree as well. Details look good.

Hi Morkel.
Love the sky especially and the moody feeling.. My only wish was that patch of sunlight had landed on said tree.. I guess you couldn't hang around that long??

Thanks folks - yeah Don this was a grab shot as we were en route to a potential wildebeest crossing...
