Close up photo of a giraffe

Giraffe strikes the pose

07/

Close shot of a giraffe which was standing in our way, on a sandy trail of Moremi reserve, Botswana. As we could not drive across, we stood there, waiting for the giraffe to move: it was then a good opportunity for me to take a close shot of this giraffe posing like a model in Moremi game reserve Botswana! The photo safari in Moremi was for us an opportunity to spot wildlife from austral africa. So, this giraffe in the middle of the trail was more a gift than a trouble.
We enjoyed watching it feed on high tree leaves using its tongue and lips. And I had all the time I needed to take many photos of the giraffe, using all the lenses at my disposal.
Unlike other animals, this giraffe gave me plenty of time to think of the best settings.
