Taken at Tsavo West National Park Feb 2007, I was using a canon 300d with a kit lens. f/5.6 1/200 ISO 100.
First 2 shots were non keepers he was coming at us a quite a speed! to nevous to focus properly! I kept these what do you think, the little bird didnt flinch as he walked by! c+c welcomed.

#2 makes a real impact - my favourite. Had they been rolling around in dust?

All the soil in this part of Kenya is a varying red colour, the elephants all look like this here, this is the park entrance. The elephants further north at Amboseli National Park are the normal colour.
