Motif: Feet - Indian elephant

Not great as it was shot about 6.30am, it's too tight, however at 1/25sec 500f/4 HH, but you get the idea :D

Steve :D

Love it, great tonal range and fine skin detail - is this natural color?

[Steve Kaluski]

Hi Jeff

I just converted to B/W as there was really no colour at all, but also toned it with an AGFA ISO400 film to aid both noise and contrast, therefore giving it a bit of a 'GRITTY' feel.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
Steve ;)

Hi Steve - conversion looks good - love the detail - sharp as a tack - great for HH at 1/25th
Agree just a tad tight on the RHS.

Great for the shutter speed Steve !!! Mighty big foot, I think the eles are particularly good for isolating body parts !!!

Hi Lance, yes it is tight, as I said, it was my own fault and I was waving the lens around trying to steady it, lucky to get this, but it was on high frames, not ideal having a fixed lens. :)

They certainly are Al, could spend many days just photographing these guys. ;)

Thanks
Steve
