Fabulous set Eric,
The scale shown in 3 is quite impressive. 1, 5 and 6 are also sweet.
There is beautifle soft light right now, I'd be out working it if I did not have such beautifle soft light yesterday leaving me a bunch to process
Morris
Glad you liked them Morris...and yes it was a beautiful late Autumn day here in the NY/NJ area.

It's one thing to see the size difference of a baby eli next to an adult, but what a difference with the rhinos. How did the cat and dogs get in there? Nice series and informative, Eric.
Rex
Thanks Rex...like many other things it's difficult to appreciate the size in a photo and not until you see them in person or at least next to something else can you tell just how massive they really are...and I think I left the door open for the cat and dogs....ooops, my bad

Wonderful capture, Eric. It must be fun shooting together with your son.

Thanks Tam...and yes, shooting with him is great fun...he is a very talented photographer and in his chosen genres much much better than I

Love the story with the first few! Savuti I would think.
Can't you afford to buy your son a telephoto lens, so he doesn't have to risk his life by getting so close to those ellies!!
Actually close-ups of ellies with wide angles are often great shots and safer than most people think!
Your leopard is gorgeous; classic!!
And the dog shot, while not great colour is my favourite because they are such incredible and rare animals, and they make we want to plan a return trip.....soon.
Don
Thanks so much Don...it was quite an experience to be that close and on foot rather than in a vehicle...but felt very safe. I done some other ele photography on foot but from a much further distance with longer lenses....still you have to be wary and since they can run 35mph if they want to make an example of you there's little you can do. I love to get leopards on branches with a clear look...doesn't happen often so you you have to take advantage of it. The dogs are quite special as you say and I was very excited to be able to see such a big pack.

Fantastic series Eric,
Very impressed to see the distance between your son and the elephants is very close..!!
That was a very cool experience which can't be replicated

Thanks Chris...the diversity of target species makes every drive one of great anticipation

Super good set Eric. Interesting to see the difference over time. Excellent cat shot.
Thanks Ken...nature reclaims its territory again and makes every animal, including the humans in the area adapt.

Another great set Eric. Is the leader the one on the right, or the one in mid-air? ~ Ron
Thanks Ron...I think the guy out in front is the alpha but honestly I'm not sure.
