Hey folks ... i do love the Etosha bulls so much !!
Always a treat to meet them ... as they are really gentle giants , easy to deal with as far as my personal experience goes !!!!!! Met other elephant bulls .... they were not that easy and nice , LOL .
Saw them coming from far .... walking towards the waterhole at the main camp .... i thought i had plenty of time , but as it is in real life , they came close quickly !
So i was struggling with composition and the angle of light , not knowing which path they take .... so i was ending up zooming and out and firing shots . But the issue was , they never walked in line or in perfect distance to each other , they never flapped ears at the same time .... Damned !!!!
One of the results is this ... i know it is too tight on LHS , too late folks !!!
So now here is a rather " low contrast " toning image . Again straight forward TriTone without major additional tonal work . Just some selective D&B .
Kept the the contrast low in the shadows , but high in the HL !!!
Gabriela - indeed i can take any ripping with ease .... as you are all far away .... and if do not want to see you folks , i just turn off the computer :t3:bg3:. Easy task . So please honest feedback is hopefully on the way .
