Zebra Crossing

In my mind, I had really wanted to get a high-key shot of a zebra crossing the road. This will never happen, I told myself, how often will I get to see a zebra, let alone one in this situation.
The answer is, several times a day. They're everywhere! There was one day we had to stop for about 15 mins as a line of plain's zebras about a mile long wandered through the savanna and across the road.
As much as this occurred, I still never tired of it. They are lovely animals and it's an amazing sight. This shot was at Etosha National Park in the northern part of Namibia. This is a high-risk malaria zone, so if you're going to visit make sure you take precautions.
This was also my first trip with my Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3. It's not the best telephoto you'll ever find and it's not particularly fast, but for the price it's an amazing purchase! Keep it below 450mm and it stays nice and sharp. Even at the top end, it's not unrecoverable.
