06 July 2015:

During an assignment in Namibia, I stayed at the lodge near the Etosha national park. I was woken up by the noise outside of my room and peeked through the window to find out a pair of giraffes were approaching toward my room. I quickly turned on a small reading lamp near the bed and quietly went outside to set up my camera on a tripod.  Since the only available light source was the reading lamp through the window and moonlight through the clouds, I was compelled to use a long shutter speed, hoping I can get the giraffes somewhere in the frame......AND they were!!!!

CAMERA: Sony NEX 7, FOCUS LENGTH: 28mm, EXPOSURE: 10 sec. at f 4.5, ISO 800.
