I have a lot of tight, frame-filling shots of white rhinos, but I prefer adding a bit of the environment when possible, especially since rhinos have such an iconic shape. This one was taken in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. Being November and in the middle of the short rains, the landscape was lush with vegetation and the skies were full of photogenic clouds. Rhinos, of course, are an endangered species, so always great to see them no matter the conditions. White rhinos are doing considerably better than many of their cousins, however, and are currently listed as the more encouraging “near threatened.” Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 98mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/1600th of a second
