Another trip down memory lane... this time a shoot in Kaziranga Tiger Reserve in Assam, India! :)
I stood by the jeep looking out over the grasslands of Kaziranga in the state of Assam watching some swamp deer and rhinos graze in the distance. It was beautiful! Then suddenly the elephant grass in front of me twitched and out strode a rhino, heading straight at me. I froze as it approached, my muscles tensed as my body prepared for flight. It kept coming closer, too close, was it going to charge? Should I run?
Nikon announces new 500mm and 600mm f/4 lenses (and a smaller one too)....

I am a strong advocate that an idea is way more important than gear, as well as getting the shot right in camera first! This is exactly how Stephen McMennamy created a fantastic series of images......
Remembering my first trip to Bandipur Tiger Reserve, oh so long ago! :)
We sat in the car with the windows open, holding our breaths and straining our ears to hear it again. It was near pitch dark and forest was deadly silent except for the guttural roars of a tigers mating call from metres away from us.
