At The Foot of The Mountain Photograph - Limited Edition of 20

'At The Foot of The Mountain' - Kenya 2023 8 days... 'At The Foot of The Mountain' had been on my mind for a long time and was one of the reasons I visited Amboseli National Park back in October 2023. I wanted to capture this elephant behaviour which is so classic - elephants marching in single file. Classic and epic? Yes... But not as easy to capture as one might think. Let me list a few things that I was looking for when creating this image to paint the picture. - Elephants need to march after each other. - They need to come towards me at an angle to be able to see all the elephants. - Other photographers on site need to act professionally not to scatter or scare the elephants. - They need to march at a similar distance from each other without major gaps in between individuals. - A cloudy day. - Lead elephant needs to flap its ears at the right time to have the classic look of an elephant. - Lead elephant needs a decent set of tusks. - A clean background without bushes or trees. - I needed to shoot from a lower angle to emphasise the might of these elephants. - I wanted the elephants as close as possible to avoid the longest telephoto lenses. - All this has to happen close to a road since in most areas you are not allowed to drive off-road. Day 8... It was a cloudy day and I was waiting patiently in my spot. Many groups of elephants had passed but none that ticked all the boxes. Suddenly a group left the small waterhole in the distance and came towards my vehicle. The lead elephant had a decent set of ivory and they lined up nicely. This time it all came together and 'At The Foot of The Mountain' was created.
