Finalist – Elephant Sunset – A mix of good fortune and good planning culminated in this wonderful ‘Botswana moment’. We were at Pump Pan near Savuti Camp, watching a small breeding herd of elephants quenching their thirst and playing in the water. The sun was just setting and I was waiting for the right time to catch the dead tree silhouetted against the sunset when another herd showed up, in the perfect spot to also capture their silhouettes as they rushed towards the water. – By Ian Mackintosh, St Helena Bay Fujifi lm XT1, Fujifi lm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8, ISO 400, f/16, 1/320 sec I was waiting for the right time to catch the dead tree silhouetted against the sunset when another herd showed up, in the perfect spot to also capture their silhouettes as they rushed towards the water. – By Ian Mackintosh, St Helena Bay Fujifi lm XT1, Fujifi lm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8, ISO 400, f/16, 1/320 sec
