About the Image(s)
I took this image of five zebras drinking water last September at the Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. I was struck by how orderly they were in getting to the water one at a time then standing in such an orderly fashion while drinking.
I took this with my Sony A7III and 50-400 mm Tamron lens. Settings were F 5.6, ISO 400,
1/1000 S, at 365 mm.
Processing was done on Adobe Photoshop; cropped then used ACR to adjust exposure, contrast, vibrance and overall tone.

Maria - Wonderful photo! I'm a little surprised that f/5.6 resulted in all Zebras in focus, but it did. Zebras can blend into the background and almost disappear in some settings, but here they stand out. Wonderful to see that collection of stripes, manes, eyes and noses! Posted: 11/04/2025 18:42:52
