    Here is something you do not see everyday, Warthogs fighting, even more surprising in a waterhole.

    Taken In Savute, Northern Botswana, 7th May 2010

    EOS 1D MkIV

    F8, ISO 1600, 1/6400 (do not ask me why I was on ISO 1600)

    Hi Ken, something I havent seen, and the guy on the right really looks upset. Love the flying droplets showing the action. If you have a little room on top, it will help, and maybe taking a tad off the bottom. Just a thought.

    Would like a wider angle Ken on this, as both have been truncated sadly, perhaps with a tad less foreground and more above?

    At those setting Ken the MKIV should have nailed it, but I think there is some camera shake as it's not sharp and looks washed out, no real vibrancy to the image. What was the lens used and where was the focus point? You can find that in DPP if unsure for the FP.
