1DX_5910 - Zebra at Sunrise

Amboselli National Park, Kenya

Normally I would not even bother trying to shoot into the light. But this image demonstrates that occastionally you can break the rules and get away with it. This is a
back-lit photo taken right after sunrise. A large group of zebras had walked in front of us and raised a lot of dust. The sunlight shining through the dust is what created
the background. We were experimenting with shooting into the light at sunrise, and I managed to get a few images I really like. This one is probably my favorite.

Canon EOS-1D X ,Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
1/400s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso1600 full exif
