HIPPOPOTAMUS SPLASH
When this hippopotamus slid down the Zambezi riverbank I didn’t have much time to compose or change lenses, so I went for a tight crop using my 600mm lens and 1.4x teleconverter. F/11 gave sufficient depth of field and 1/800 second just froze the action as it hit the water.
F/11, 1/800th second, ISO 1600
