It was hard to find something to scale her against, but this was a very large -- and fortunately friendly and curious -- female who came up to our jeep to check us out as we explored the northern Mara's Olare-Motorogi Conservancy. I'd say she was a body length away. To get her all in, I had to resort to the iPhone at its widest angle. My bad back kept me from leaning out the window as far as I'd have liked to get the low angle she deserved, but under the harsh midday light I still had a wonderful opportunity to capture the texture of the dried and cracked mud that covered her. (We were near the Talek River, where she'd likely got her skin-protective coating.) Black-and-white was the only way to go because the iPhone image was hard to color-balance into something remotely real. ©2025 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
She was right at our left rear bumper when I leaned as far out of the window as i could to get this shot. After this encounter, she seemed to tire of us and backed off, returning to grazing. I wish there'd been some way to capture her tremendous scale. In Kenya's northern Mara. ©2025 John M. Hudson | jmhudson1.com
[This is the third photo of the Magic Beach "series"]
It came as a big surprise.
I had been at this beach a couple of years ago. This time, the idea was once again to shoot sunset, with the golden light bathing the peaks of the mountains standing on the other side of the fjord.
But, once I noticed some curious rocks and closed in on them, the landscape/seascape planned shots were immediately forgotten.
Hope you will like it! 😊
