Hi folks after a longer time i went through older files and came across the SA folder with tons of images from my last visit to Africa .....many moons ago .
It also reminds me to my friends down there .....well sadly one is gone forever !!!!
Still have him and the short but intensely great time in my mind .
Image was taken close to their home .Found three of the Whites in a mud pool, they seemed to enjoy that " dirty " bath .
Canon EOS 1D MK IV
EF 70-200 2,8 IS L at 148 mm
HH
F 8 ; Iso 800 ; 1/800 sec
Processed with Capture One Pro 10 and PS CC 2017 ; slowly i am 50/50 on which converter i use for the raw conversion , the more i learn about C1 the more i use it . Offers more option to stay longer in the RAW process for precise adjustments compared to DPP , still think the colors of DPP are a bit better IMHO . But i will see what the future brings in terms of getting more used to C1 , as it is way more complex than DPP .
Cropped for comp from all sides slightly .
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting .
This is a stunning frame and tonality is superb. Beautifully exposed, great IQ. I like the framing - in fact I like everything - and specially the pose, one does not get to photograph a rhino wallowing in the mud and so relaxed, every day.
I think I know where this was taken, will verify that with you in an email sometime. Went to the Park today with a heavy heart but came back a little more cheerful after a few sightings. I will post some soon.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts tonight, I so appreciate your thoughtfulness and cherish the memories of those happy times you spoke about.
Totally agree with Gabriela & Rachel here, a lovely comical moment well captured Andreas, I particualry like the rhino digging that horn into the mud, getting his money's worth.
Andreas, a wild rhino would be something incredibly special for me to see,a wild rhino just sat /stood doing nothing would be incredibly special to make images of. But a wild rhino upside down wallowing and so obviously loving his bath must be the most enchanting spectacle to see or try to capture. I adore this one mate,the horn moving the wet mud two big thick strong legs waving in the air. This is an incedibly special frame Andreas a subject that is so special and emotional content that is uplifting for the viewer. one that makes a smile cross a face. For me one of my favourites of your work,no nits really I'd just ask to see more
Wonderful behaviour in this shot Andreas, it makes such a more interesting photo than the standard portrait. The variations in the colours of the mud are a nice bonus, and the clear view of the eye rounds it off nicely.
Happy Rhino ?
