Here’s another one where I put the camera on a tripod and held it, inverted, over the side of the safari vehicle while using a remote trigger to get a ground-level perspective. Also nice to capture a rising sun on one side of the elephant and her calf on the other. This was in Samburu, where the elephants are plentiful and always have a bit of a reddish tint to their skin due to the red clay dirt of the area. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 lens (at 59mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/640th of a second.
Oh, so nice, Sean! I love this photo & cannot ignore that the momma seems to be looking your way with a trusting attitude. After all, she continued to enjoy her morning cornflakes! Had she felt threatened, I imagine breakfast would not have been her top priority.

Gorgeous shot Sean!
What a great shot. So much happening there. Kudos.
For all I know you could be bullshitting me here. This could be an elephant and sunset. Which would change everything.
Love it!

This POV rocks.
Just phenomenal. This brightened my day 🙂
How creative to get this shot from a low angle! (Getting out of the safari vehicle would not have been a good option here!) Spectacular in every way.
