Action Packed Sequence at Masai Mara – What an amazing day it was. First a missed Lion hunt and then this. The two Cheetahs were targeting a Topi, but then saw this baby Zebra passing by and we knew this has to be its target.

Our guide/driver was fast enough to get us into right position and rest our skills played the main part in capturing…

Alone we stand

I was looking for a single Greater Flamingo standing to capture an eye level shot. Being on a boat it was challenging to hand hold and get usable capture. The light was good to use high shutter speed but the distance to the subject was far, needing heavy crop from original to isolate other distractions.
Appreciate your comments…
