From a very sensible “5 Quick Tips For Better Wildlife Shots”, which is worth reading:
One very important rule when photographing wildlife is to focus on the eyes of your subject.
As you can see, today’s photo breaks this rule…to its advantage, I think.
As 2022 is very nearly behind us, it is timely to include an image in which “behinds” are in front!
Photographically – as in many other fields – there are sound “rules”, worth knowing and generally best-followed.
It is, however, wise to understand that “generally best” does not mean “always best”.
(the author of “5 Quick Tips” does understand this)
In November 2022 I took a number of “successful”, “law-abiding” photos of impala, but this “lawbreaker” pleases me more than any of them.
The photo (copyright Doug Spencer) shows impala rams (& a termite mound) in Okonjima, central Namibia, at 9.06 am on 04 November 2022.
Tomorrow’s post will conclude this “Namibia single-image series”.
Yes, I have finally completed my “edit/delete” marathon!
Tomorrow’s post will break the current “single-image” series rule.
Its musical bonus is a lovely contemplation of the annual transition from one year to the next.
Multi-image Namibian posts will commence later in January 2023, after a few Australian ones.
