Yet another dusty crossing
This time in near-total darkness.
We watched at the end of the day as a massive crossing built up a mere 5 minutes from our camp (the benefit of our camp location in the Mara Triangle, all the other visitors had long left to make their gate times and lodge dinner times :t3).
When they eventually started, the light was gone. My guests and I still attempted to create some images, some at barely usable shutter speeds and some at slower shutter speeds.
After a few minutes with the light really gone, I simply advised them that this was now a moment to simply enjoy and take in for what it is, and we were able to watch a leopard move right past our vehicle attempting to catch some of the wildebeests that got out of the river closer to us, all the while with dust and trampling bodies piling up from the river.
