Well, we just got back from an epic road-trip that took us across 6 of South Africa's 9 provinces, covering about 3,500km in 9 days.
I had my first decent sightings and photographic opportunities of the elusive black rhino, a species that has managed to elude me for over 20 years of regular excursions into the African bush.
This is a large bull captured against the backdrop of a mountain. I hope you like it as much as I do. I am undecided on whether I prefer the colour or monochrome version...will post the latter as a follow-up thread tomorrow - maybe your insights can help me.
I have close-ups of this guy but some of you will know how I like to go for the wider view. I underexposed deliberately in-camera and increased the blacks during conversion.
Techs:
Canon 7D with 100-400mm L IS USM @ 235mm
f7.1 @ 1/3200 @ ISO-640
Exposure bias -0.7
