Here’s another one from Samburu in Kenya. And another from the comfort of our camp. The hornbills, like the vervet monkeys and baboons, would regularly visit us while eating lunch. For those that are familiar with The Lion King, this is the real life version of Zazu. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/60th of a second.
My Samsung Note 10 cell has a live focus option that blurs the background of a picture. I have been experimenting with this option, it help to bring the subject out.
Yes, the iPhone is doing that now too. To get it optically I use a wider aperture, I try to distance the background from the subject by getting on the ground and I use longer lenses, which all affect the depth of field. It’s really nice when you can isolate that subject.

Beautiful bird, Sean, with a rather memorable beak!
Zazu in real life! Great shot–I like how the background is blurred out too, it adds a nice background without being distracting from the main subject.
