Cosy Foursome--Elephants in Periyar

[Shyamala Kumar]

Canon 60D+100-400mm ISO500 1/200s FL150mm F/5.6 Sept afternoon 2014.We suddenly came across this family while turning a bend.Both elephants and humans were taken aback.

I liked the environmental composition. The dense vegetation on both the sides, frame the elephants nicely. The path leads the eye to the elephants. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. The sunlight falling on the elephants helps improve the image a lot. More depth of field would have been even better. You were shooting at f5.6. Stopping down to f8 would have helped you get a bit more depth of field. Ofcourse the shutter speed would have gone down to 1/100th of a second. With the IS of the 100-400 lens that should be ok. Even a slight negative exposure (-1/3rd stop) would have been fine here, as the back of the elephant looks overexposed. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
