Highly recommended - Romance in the Pans - Having gotten up very early in the morning to head out to the gates of Etosha National Park, before they open up at sunrise, I knew I had something special in store for that morning. After seeing a couple of Hyena only a few kilometers into the park. Who would have thought the sight of Gemsbok could top that? I had visited Etosha the year before this trip too, and had already pictured this image in my mind. I had the exact same situation in exactly the same location, just not the camera gear to capture it so beautifully. Having watched these 2 play around on the horizon of the pan for around 10 minutes, I knew I had walked away with some great images, and even better memories. -By Carel van Rooyen, Cape Town Canon 7D mkii, Canon 100-400L IS USM, ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/800 sec
