Hint of giraffe

Photo Information

Taken at Marwell zoo, a baby giraffe. Timing is everything, also having a camera that can take decent shots at ISO3200 (k-5), and a good lens (in this case Tamron 70-200 f/2.

I can't believe I didn't pop it on here before, just stuck it on 500px and's turned out to be my 2nd most popular shot. Which is nice.

It's such an innovative and unusual shot which has the added benefit of being cute! I can understand why it has been popular.

You've caught the absolute best part if a giraffe.

And shown it brilliantly.

Such a sweet image, peeping out but still under the protection of mother, a beautiful capture.

Kind regards Maria
