Mammals of Lake Nakuru National Park
Black and White Black Rhino

I was showing the park to a colleague who had never been in and, after less than 5 minutes, came across this big bull black rhino. I used my usual trick of trying to predict where the animal is going, park the car and wait for the animal to get closer. It worked once again and I took a few pictures before a tour guide came noisily close by and scared the rhino away. I converted the picture to black and white and feel that it gives an “old times” feel to the picture.

Nikon D700, Sigma 150-500mm OS at 500mm, F 6.3, 1/60s, ISO 6400, handheld.
