Due to the red dirt of Samburu National Reserve in the north of Kenya, the elephants take on a much more reddish tint than their identical, but grey, counterparts in the south. I used my wide-angle lens for this one, when the entire herd walked past us about ten feet away. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 24-70mm lens (at 24mm) ISO 250, f/2.8 at 1/800th of a second.
