Photographer’s Note
Two Giraffe shot on a recent safari to the Massai Mara National Park in Kenya.
Each year the Mara plays host to the world’s greatest natural spectacle, the Great Wildebeest Migration from the Serengeti. From July to October, the promise of rain and fresh life giving grass in the north brings more than 1.3 million Wildebeest together into a single massive herd. They pour across the border into the Mara, making a spectacular entrance in a surging column of life that stretches from horizon to horizon.
I used a point and shoot Sony P200 camera with post processing on highlights and shodows in Photoshop.
All the game drives we went on were either first thing in the morning or last thing in the afternoon which meant light was always low. I only had a point and shoot camera at the time (with no control), and when I got home I found that all my photos were slightly underexposed. Just one of those things, I suppose.

Hi Edward,
Wonderful capture! Stunning colours and composition. And great timing also - both giraffe in that slightly overlapping position. The colours are amazing, like a painting on a canvas.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards
