Hi folks ... I was thinking what to post to celebrate my first milestone on BPN , must it be special ??? or is something that I do come across while searching my archive ???
finally I ended up by stumbling over an image that is not a classical stunner , imho, in the first place . but I liked it and with posing . as I do not have that many clear action shots of this species .
shot was taken in Zambia back in 2019 in the south luangwa np
canon eon 1dx ii
ef 200- 400 is l at 526 mm
hh
f 6,3 , iso 5000 , 1/2500 sec
processed with dpp 4 nd pscc 2022 , cropped from landscape to portrait so I have thrown away a lot of data
thanks for looking and commenting to my previous postings
cheers Andreas
Hearty congrats Andreas on your 1000th thread! Wow. Amazing work.
Reg the image, I like it! Great action and techs to capture it. The running pose, the duel for the meat and bone is super cool. They are tough to capture as they are always on the move.
WOW !!! 1000 threads !!! Congratulations Andreas !!! Thank you for all the work and time you put in, and for all the lovely images we so enjoyed over the years!!!
Very nice action shot, enjoyed viewing. So typical of those chaps. Good POV and thoughtful techs, well processed. Wishing you many more sightings and I hope you keep delighting and entertaining us with your images, once again Congratulations Boetie
thanks so much folks , for your kind words .
@ Gabriela .... I came a long way and you have been along with me all the time , thanks for all the mental and other support from your side !!!!!!! never forget the year 2014 .... and never forget Andre !!!!!
I find these guys so difficult to photograph well however this ticks all the boxes for me. What an action packed result from what looks like fairly dull and challenging conditions
