Uganda Edition: Giraffe head shots

Nubian Giraffe: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Still with the small tower of Giraffes we encountered on our walking safari with an armed ranger at Lake Mburo. A few portraits. You can see how delicately they strip the new growth leaves from the tops of the acacia trees…pulling them off without catching the thorns. Their browsing is what gives the acacias of Africa their characteristic shape. Wonderful creatures! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 1000 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
