Here’s another elephant that I was able to photograph from a ground-level perspective using a wide angle lens, inverted monopod and remote trigger. In Samburu National Reserve in the north of Kenya, the elephants take on a reddish tint due to the red clay dirt of the landscape. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 24-70mm lens (at 24mm) ISO 160, f/4.5 at 1/500th of a second.
Thanks Paul. Conditions have to be just right for me to get the camera out of the vehicle and down on the ground, but always nice when it all comes together.
Maybe the finest elephant photograph I have seen (and I have seen a lot of them given my wife’s country of birth). The light, perspective, and subject all pin point perfect. Great shot Sean.

Thanks Michael. Elephants are such iconic animals, I never grown tired of photographing them.

Stunning. I love all your ele shots. <3
Thanks so much Jenn. Appreciate it.
The warm tones of the late day lighting and the low camera angle make this a PERFECT shot. Love it!
Thanks Laura. Always takes a bit of luck to have all the elements come together.
