Description
One might look at this picture, and think, "Oh my, that photographer did an excellent job hunting down this magnificent animal and catching him in his natural environment." Well.... I did look out the window of my little cottage I had slept in, and saw this guy staring me right in the eye, and since he supposedly hangs out around the camp, I guess you could say I did catch him in his natural environment. :-)
My wife & I got invited to go on safari in Kenya with her sister, who was researching a children's book she was writing about the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, whose mission it is to rescue, raise, and return orphaned elephants back into the wild. It was a fantastic trip, and photographic opportunity, but unfortunately digital cameras were brand new, and my photography skills were not up to the task of taking perfect photos. I took about 4,000 pictures with my little Nikon 6mp camera, and threw over 3500 of them away when I got home and looked at my feeble efforts on the computer screen. But, man...... what a trip!
I hope to return someday with the equipment and skill sets that I now have. Maybe I'll only have to throw half of my photos away by then.
