Wildlife
26 May 2021
We were on the prowl, our daily safari through the neighborhood with a camera of some sort, mainly for protection. Suddenly (well, not all that suddenly), there appeared a family of Modelos in the savanna grass.
Wildlife. Apple iPhone 6 Plus at 4.2mm and f2.2, 1/3597 second and ISO 32.
Terrified of an encounter, we hurried past. Then we remembered we had a camera with us. We'd be safe.
We drew the camera out of our jacket slowly, hoping it wouldn't ring and disturb the slumbering party, sleeping off a night of hunting and gathering (or maybe just hunting).
But we had to crouch to get the shot.
That's when we noticed the faint odor all wildlife gives off. We nearly sneezed but suppressed our animal instinct, snapped the shutter, stood up and resumed our hike.
We forgot about this picture the way you forget a dream before the coffee has finished brewing. But with Thom Hogan taking the week off, we thought we might pitch in for those missing his wildlife images.
As always, at your service.
