This image was captured during a Maasai Mara Photo Safari I led last year. An iconic sunset image with a silhouette of a lonely bull Elephant walking on the open plains of Maasai Mara.

Each year in the Lower Zambezi National Park, thousands of elephants move towards the Zambezi River, as the Escarpment starts to dry. Its the bull Elephants that usually the cross the various channels to reach islands. There are not a lot of other animals that makes these crossing, so these islands are good area’s to find plenty of food.

We had this lovely sand bar that developed in front of our camp Old Mondoro in the Lower Zambezi National park, which the elephants had to cross to get through the main channel. What was special about this stretch of sand it was shallow enough for the elephants to move quickly and splash alot of water around for amazing atmosphere to the images. It was also the perfect distance from the camp so I could get my guests to lie on the ground above the water line and photograph the elephants from a safe position.

I photographed this large bull moose earlier this fall, in Glacier National Park in Montana. All of the visitor services were closed for the season, leaving the park void of tourists. It felt as though I had the entire place to myself, well, except for this big guy I came across early one morning!

When I found this guy the sun had just come up over the mountains, but was being filtered by some cloud cover to the east, creating some really nice lighting conditions for photography. I watched and photographed him for what must have been an hour or more. He would alternate between browsing the willows along the shore to wading out into the water and diving, looking for the remaining vegetation at the bottom of the lake.

I had just slowly worked my way around the shoreline to get a better angle, being careful not to disturb him, when all of a sudden he decided to shake off in the water. I quickly adjusted to a faster shutter speed to freeze the action and immediately fired off a series of shots, capturing the entire shake from beginning to end. This was one of my favorites from the sequence.

Caught these two bulls on the side of the herd busy fighting, it started lightly but soon turned rather aggressive, the backlit dust helps create a wonder full mood of intensity
