Monochrome Monday #54

on Jan 04, 2016

What is important to my work is the individual picture. I photograph stories on assignment, and of course they have to be put together coherently. But what matters most is that each picture stands on its own, with its own place and feeling. - Steve McCurry

MM01

A Southern Pride female desperately calls for the other pride members as she was separated from them for days.

MM02

A motion blur shot of one of Africa’s most active predators. I think using a slow shutter speed and displaying the Wild Dog pups in this manner portrays their character quite well.

MM03

A male giraffe walks through one of Sabi Sabi’s many open plains.

MM04

A Lappet-faced Vulture may not be the prettiest bird around, but photographing them is always on top of my list.

MM05

An elephant calf’s excitement builds as it approaches a waterhole.

MM06

Two male impalas pose on a crest, allowing for a silhouette shot.

MM07

The only ostrich that roams Sabi Sabi and its surrounds. This female is particularly inquisitive and will approach the vehicles whenever she is spotted.

MM08

The perfect sprinter. Everything about a cheetah’s anatomy is focused on speed.

MM09

Whenever I photograph cats, I make sure the main focus is around the eyes. In this case I broke my rule and I think it works in this image of the Tatowa female leopard.

MM10

The antics of young elephants are always entertaining to watch. This calf was chasing an older member of the herd.
