I mentioned previously that I am in the process of testing out some Nikon kit. I am very impressed to say the least.
This shot was taken in a nature reserve close to my parents' home in Pretoria. This red hartebeest cow was shaking her head, resulting in in awkward expression as if to query her calf about something the latter had uttered.
This shot has ZERO post-processing applied, save for ONE round of slight sharpening after resizing.
I am off on a 6-day trip to the Kruger National Park tomorrow, and will be on sporadic on-off holiday until the 3rd of January, so this might be my last post in "Wildlife" for 2009. :cool:
Thanks so much to everyone on BPN for their kind comments and honest critique...I have enjoyed learning from each and every one of you. It is a truly special community and I feel privileged to be a part of it.
Techs:
Nikon D300s with Nikkor 200-400mm f4 VR @ 380mm
f4 @ 1/2000 SS @ ISO-400
