    Default Chaos at the river

    Had to sneak one more in for the theme this month.
    I have been terribly busy getting my "head in the game" for my MBA studies that have kicked off.

    This photo was taken at an intense river crossing in the Mara Triangle last year.

    Techs:
    Nikon D800
    Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR-II
    f7.1 | 1/800 SS | ISO-160

    Hi Morkel - Very effective conversion. Amazing god rays and kicked up dust. This really does give one a sense of chaos. You don't mention if it is ff or cropped. If you have it, I would love to see a version with a little more below of the swimming wbs. Overall though, extremely well done. Presume this is a contest entry for you.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Thanks folks.
    Rachel - pretty much FF with slight rotation. I did not enter this one anywhere this year, but a wider shot of the same scene in WPY (did not go through).
    Might look at this one for other contests.

    Tells the story nicely here Morkel, the dust and light rays are what this is all about, very well captured and suitable mono conversion.
