Just you dare!!

F9.5, 1/180, ISO100, 300mm

This looks worse than it is. In fact the wildebeest are so scared of anything that has less than 4 legs and 1 tail, that they normally run as fast as they can by the mere sight of anybody closer than a hundred meters away. They normally lower their heads, wave their tails flamboyantly and start running in circles before taking off. I took this picture at a good moment while they were running in circles

I wanted to add some dramatic effect to the original so I did a slight bit off editing. I hope you like it

    That's also a good shot! It changes a bit of what you show us usually and I like it! I like the face that they are in motion and we can feel it!

    Nice shot!

    It does look very good Deryck. I feared for your life until I read the information! Fancy them being scared, when they look so intimidating!
