It was late in the day when I captured this photo of a giraffe running across the savanna in Botswana. Panning my camera with the giraffe while using a slower shutter speed created the nice motion blurred effect of the landscape. Seeing giraffes run is always one of my favorite things to watch while on safari — both awkward and graceful at the same time. It almost appears as if they are running in slow motion.
