Fog added a nice element to this early-morning shot of an elephant emerging from the bushes. When the sky and overall lighting cooperate, I’m always looking for the iconic shape of an elephant or giraffe to put into the scene. This is from the Masai Mara of Kenya on our trip last month. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 70-200mm lens (at 70mm) ISO 160, f/2.8 at 1/250th of a second.
Very nice, Sean! This landscape has it all – time & place. The dramatic weather scene and the early morning, golden light, that helps to punctuate the elephant’s form & tusks. I’ve never been there, but this photo shouts “Africa”!

I love this shot.
Thanks Mary. We saw the elephant go behind those bushes and were hoping he would emerge beneath the fog.
Great shot!! 🙂
Thanks Bill.

Thanks Sue. Definitely one of those serendipitous moments when the elephant went exactly where I wanted him to go.
Such a beautiful photo!!!
Thanks Anne.
