A moment of magic in the bush as a Black Rhino cow and her calf approach the nearby waterhole. A storm is brewing and the day is drawing to a close. Every step is weary, and every sound is carefully tuned into with their amazing hearing. We sat very still in our vehicle and watched for more than 30 minutes as they carefully emerged from the thickets, quenched their thirst, nearly charged some impala that were also on their way to have a drink, and slowly disappear into the fading light…<\/p>\n

Moments like these are getting harder and harder to experience…
\nRhinos in Southern Africa are being decimated at higher and higher rates by the day…

I hope you like this image. The monochrome conversion I created really spoke to me in a way the colour version could not do…I always like to show my before and after versions (colour and monochrome) – so here they are.<\/p>\n

Techs:
\nNikon D800
\nNikkor 500mm f4 VR-II
\nf5.6 | 1\/500 SS | ISO-3200<\/p>\n
