  • A group of large bull elephants covered in white mud stand motionless like life size statues around a waterhole in the barren landscape of Etosha National Park. A passing dust devil set the mood and provided an opportunity for a unique scene. The image begged for a B&W conversion, particularly since it makes the dust devil stand out even better due to the black on white contrast. I only wish I would have been able to direct the elephants into a compositionally better grouping and more attractive individual poses, but they did not want to listen.

  • Bull elephant crossing the Chobe River at dusk.<br />
What attracted me to photographing this beautiful serene scene were the colourful reflections on the rippled water surface. Besides that is was simply an amazing and humbling experience to be side by side with this big gentle bull elephant as it crossed the river, from the moment in stepped into the water and out on the other side.

  • This month a totally different perspective: an aerial view of an Elephant bull crossing the, at the moment not so mighty, Zambezi River just upstream of the Victoria Falls. This image is all about textures; the water ripples, the sandbanks and of course the trail of stirred up mud. Furthermore, each angle from the air as we circled around the elephant provided a different and unique perspective. More images of this event to follow soon.

  • And the type of advance to be wary of when the female happens to be an elephant!<br />
<br />
Generally elephant bulls are very tolerant and allow close approach, as long as they are not in musth and as long as you respect them and don't piss them off that is, but females of a breeding herd are a totally different story and need to be treated with much more care. Our boat drifting close to the shore quite far from a herd already prompted this female to approach us head on to show how big she is and to warn us off. Staying humble and calm luckily kept her calm too.
