Photo @jasonedwardsng Wildlife watching in the pitch black of the African night is a unique experience. Sounds are amplified and even the largest animal can disappear from a spotlight in an instant. At the height of the dry season African Elephants are desperate for water by nightfall when they emerge from the forest. This image was not converted to black and white but we reduced the yellow to lessen the effect of the spotlights tungsten globe. There is still colour in the elephants eyes. @Chobe National Park, @Botswana @natgeo @natgeocreative @ilcp_photographers #elephants #endangered #safari #tusker #blackandwhite #Africa
