Gemsbok and Springbok blur

Gemsbok and Springbok blur

This photograph was taken at Okakuejo waterhole at midday. The light was very bright so I had set my aperture to f16 and my ISO to 100. I didn't expect the animals to run but something scared them and they took off.


Luckily mt camera settings were already set to a slow ISO and a small aperture and I panned with the gemsbok and springbok's motion resulting in this blur.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
