A pose of the gazelles

[Yisehaq]

Hey all,
These are very difficult animals to shoot from thier fronts. I had to spend hours jump through the trees and chasing them around a lot to get these shots.
What do you think?

Very cool, Yisehaq, especially the top one!

I like the first one, too. I think a photowalk (or run and jump) would be great where you live. I wish you would share more of your images with us.

Very nice. If you have more like this then I agree with Barefoot. Please share some more. These are great. #1 is my favourite as well.

What a beautiful animal! You captured the little guy just fine! :highfive:

I also liked the first one. How fun was doing that?

The top one is definitely the stronger image. I might think about cropping it on the RH side right where the tree is. That would eliminate the slightly unusual effect caused by the two 'lopes behind the tree.

The top one is a great shot, even more interesting that the gazelle is looking at you.

Thank you all very much.
I usually upload my photos when I feel they are technically acceptable for me and need more feedback from you guys. But on second thought may be you can hlep resurrect some of them and therefore, I will try to upload them. :D

I will tell you how fun it was jlabel. That morning, my friend and I went to the park which mainly is bird park. As we were looking for birds, we came across these beautiful gazelles. I tried to take pictures but I found them to be restless. The only pose you could get was either from behind as you chase them or thier profile while grazing. It required a lot of aerobic exercise and play hide and seek to get them to look at me for a few seconds before they start their frantic jumbs. But we also learned in a short time a lot about their behaviours.

After taking quite a bit of pictures and getting the suggestion from my camera battery :yell:that is enough for the day,we turned to the our 4X4 which was nowhere to be seen because we had walked away so far from it. :eek:

Finally, We ended up learning how difficult it was to find a white stationary Toyota Land Cruiser in accecia wood land than a portait of a gazelle. Needless to say the search took quite some time too. :D:DREAL FUNNNNNN!

the top shot is truly lovely. Definitely worth all the hard work. :)

I also love hearing the back story :D

[jlabel]

lol. sometimes the effort of taking the picture is worth
