:) friends of mine were charging off to get closer to the lechwe so we 'borrowed' the rifle from the ranger and came up with that shot

Victoria falls is incredible and most of those photos were taken on the first night we got there and that was the natural light given from the sunset, no photoshopping or changes at all, so really lucky on the timing. Ive been lucky enough to be there 3 times and have twice been white water rafting down the zambezi... and incredible experience

Nice pics, a shame alot of them are blown, could have been amazing.

I love the gun pic, my thought was that he was hunting locals too! And the elephant .... did it topple over after you took that pic? :)
