About Shot taken while lying on the ground in the grass with my wife, Linn saying: "get closer, get closer". No doubt we will hear her side of the story a bit later ;-)

When I saw the tumbnail, it didn't attract me at first, but I had to had a peek a bit later. Then, I got confused. Yes, I thought it was reall.
Now? Now I feel dumb for not seeing it a statue.

Both of you, stop messing with my brains! ;-)

A 7 for the fun,

Jeroen

Emgy, just a load of fun we had :-) Title should actually be "Mock Elephant in Mock Charge"

This cast is in the centre of a large teagarden. You should have seen the looks Robert got from the young waiters - they didn't have a clue what he was up to. I suppose they thought he was nuts shooting an image from the ground up, instead of just facing it and taking the shot

First time I saw the elephant I just knew I wanted a shot like that :-)

If you can use mannequins in your images, so can I ! It was fun pretending though, and this statue at the Safari Nursery in Pretoria presented an opportunity too tempting to miss. Robert

Robert, you had it all wrong. I said "ZOOM closer" and not "leopard crawl closer" !!! Biiiig difference! You can be SO lucky that the game warden arrived in the nick of time to save you from being trampled into your next life!

And remember, next time you try this stunt, it is no use saying to the charging bull "Shoo boy, shoo". He ain't going to listen to you!

You can be glad my Z1 survived this little trick of yours. Next time you use my old hand-me-down that you have been trying to convert!

The wife!
