Pronking Springbok

[Chris van Rooyen]

The normally arid Kgalagadi experienced exceptional rainy season in 2021. Grazing was abundant and life was easy for the grazers. The herds of Springbok would spontaneously break into pronking, and I got the impression it was just for the sheer fun of it! The light was a a bit dull due to the overcast conditions, but it helped to control the whites. Head angle could have been better. I extended the canvas a bit on the left.
