Spraying Colour

Opti Kyle 3 March 2018 Elephant Fun 2 Final

This bull elephant came for a drink at a local watering hole just after sunset with no direct light on the elephant the guests I had where happy to try something different and get the beautiful colours in the sky with the silhouette of the elephant.

Equipment used

  • Camera - Canon 7D MKii f4.5-5.6

Settings used to capture this image

  • ISO - 250
  • Aperture - F5.0
  • Shutter Speed - 1/800s

Editing used on this image

By having a fast shutter speed in order to capture the spray of water leaving the trunk, it made the elephant silhouette a lot easier. I dropped the shadows to make the elephant appear darker and lifted the highlights to bring out the background colours.
