Hi folks .... again a frame from Nxai Pan in Botswana .
Same waterhole , different day and time of the day ..... light was alawys strong apart from morning and evenings . And the sun angle was mostly not on our side due to the waterhole location .
This Ellie was just resting his hind leg on that termite mound after having a bath / mud spray at the hoöe , my initial thought was he is in the starting block ..... ready to run . But he did not run .....
Canon EOS 1Dx
EF 200 - 400 IS L at 560 mm
Beanbag
F 5,6 ; Iso 500 ; 1/ 2000 sec
Processed with DPP 4 and PSCC 2023 ; full frame and for sure heat haze was an issue . It was just brutally hot around 40 - 45 degrees
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting
Cheers Andreas
