Since it’s virtually impossible to photograph a moving animal at night -- even in a spotlight -- and get a sharp picture, I deliberately used blur to my advantage here. Such implied movement as this can be very expressive. This hyena was in a hurry as it ran in front of our vehicle, and its blurred form makes it seem all the more rushed. In this image, made at a third of a second, not only is the hyena moving, but so is the ground. That’s because I moved the camera in the same direction and speed as the hyena at the moment of exposure. In that way, I could actually define the hyena’s face and the spots, but the ground seems to be flowing under it, and its feet are all but invisible.
