    Default Stroll in a Storm

    I'm going to be offline this weekend as we spend some quality family time...so here's one to "clock out" with .
    Taken on the banks of the Chobe river in Botswana, from a specialised photographic boat.

    Techs:
    Nikon D800
    Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II @ 155mm
    f4.0 | 1/500 SS | ISO-500
    I liked it in colour and monochrome - will post the colour version later

    Wow, Morkel, this is beautifully done in B&W. I could feel the texture of the ele! I love the position of the elephant close in the foreground and the cloud forming in the BG. Well done. Loi

    Hi Morkel - nice walking pose with some drama in the clouds. Good texture in the ele and the b&w works well. Enjoy your family time!

    TFS,

    Hi Morkel,

    very nice conversion. Might would add a bit more drama to the clouds. Did you add a bit Sepia to it ?
    Enjoy your time with the family.

    Have a great weekend

    Ciao
