michali Posted November 10, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 10, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) M9 & Tri-Elmar @ 28mm Further to my last post; this elephant moved around my tent and carried on feeding. I lay in the tent quietly waiting for what seemed like hours, until she eventually moved on. A very humbling experience. Thanks for viewing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewave Posted November 10, 2010 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2010 Michael, one of those indelible moments. I'm curious if there were other people with you that didn't have the same composure you exhibited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted November 10, 2010 Share #6 Posted November 10, 2010 Mike - A wonderful shot that only suffers in comparrison to the other due to there being a bit less drama to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 11, 2010 Share #8 Posted November 11, 2010 Hello Mike, Nice photo. Very interesting because you know she knew you were there. She knew who you were & what dangers you did/did not represent. And of course she could have done anything she wanted to. And she did. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernstblofeld Posted November 11, 2010 Share #9 Posted November 11, 2010 Apart from the dramatic circumstances this is a gorgeous shot. Nice tones and contrast, great detail of wrinkles, perfect angle... Thanks again for this story (should upload it to LFI Photo Story).

Michael Geschlecht Posted November 12, 2010 Share #17 Posted November 12, 2010 Hello Again Mike, As per the comment @ the bottom of your Posts: This may be so for people. Apparently not for elephants. She was quite reasonable. But then, animals in the forest generally are. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
