Hi folks ...
Have not posted a Hippo image for ages , i think , as i do not have many .
So here you go , one image taken last year in Botswana in the Khwai concession . Was able to get out of the vehicle .... for a slightly better shooting angle .
Image taken in late light .... but i pushed things a bit in terms of color and tone .
I do really like the visible eyes .... checking the area while posing with the open jaw .
Canon EOS 1Dx
EF 200 - 400 with TC engaged at 560 mm
HH
F 5,6 ; Iso 10.000 ; 1/ 1600 sec ; man exp and Auto Iso
Processed with DPP 4 and PSCC 2019 ; slight crop due to levelling the frame .
Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous posting .
