Your best animal shots!

Hasselblad H6D 50c & Hasselblad HC 50II (35mm FF equivalent)

Shot again from Ground Level, this time I was using the Hasselblad and my Son was using the 1Dx II behind me, these Ladies did have me a little concerned they simply walked right up to within 5 or 6 metres, when they get close you can hear them rumbling which is a form of communication to each other, very neat sound as it vibrates of you at this distance.

Awesome. Great shot, Edward.

You need not worry about hairy legs. Guys are supposed to be armed with that!
I wish that can affect me, but, I'm an Oriental.
Yes, lots of photos are just "in time", you miss the chance and you can't go back. Life's the same.
I suppose to tell a story, you could use a series of these shots to show movement and how close you can get to these big and beautiful animals. Shame that some people destroy them. Painful.

Like This ??

I didn't think the Composition was as good as the other, the large Female had almost gone past.

Plus MY WIFE felt it was debatable who had the largest backside, me or the Elephant, I was more worried about showing my Hairy Legs, but both the backside and hair are part of me so short of major PhotoShop, hope you enjoy this Image more

This has a lovely warm feeling about it. Love it.

Yes, it's why I purchased the Hasselblad, in fact I bought the 100c but Hasselblad had issues with delivery (September) and as I was time constrained on my trip they lent me the 50c until the 100c delivers.

The H6D isn't the best Wildlife Camera, but at times when you can get close & things aren't moving too quickly, the larger files do allow for a much larger print and also you can certainly work the files in Post a lot more than say the 1Dx II or the Nikon D5, which are the best Wildlife Cameras in my view.

Awesome. Great shot, Edward.

Thanks Click, Appreciated, it's always a good feeling when these Guys come in so close when your on the Ground, in particular the feeling after they've gone past and your still 3 dimensional

Hi Jack, I agree, the Files coming from the Hasselblad have me won over, the amount of Post you can do to lift shadows is extraordinary, can't wait to try the 100c in September.

The Hasselblad though for Wildlife just couldn't cut it, at 1 fps pretty well anything other than Portrait shots is beyond it, if it moves with the H6D forget it, but good light, Portrait type shots & Landscape, it's in a league of it's own, the 5DsR doesn't come close.

Kerry B, very nice. You're right. The shadows aren't harsh and the the overall effect is pleasing.

Hi Kery B, very nice, your right, these are the moments we look forward to, I go twice a year to Africa, sometimes 3 times, never enough, always looking forward to the next trip.

Nice one Jack

 

[Jack Douglas]

Thanks Edward. While I love your photos, it can be a little depressing not having any time to shoot something of my own. I think someone knew I needed a boost today! What a lark it was.

Very nice shot, Jack.

Jack,
What a catch!
Though they look like foxes to me.
Hope you have more shots.
