Giraffe Photography ~ 1/3

Capturing wildlife, photographically speaking, is always an amazing experience. Whether it’s a lioness on the prowl across the plains of Africa, a bear ambling through the forests of the Appalachians, or just tortoises that roam our hills here in Türkiye; it doesn’t matter, each is a unique experience in my view.

But one of the most majestic of creatures to photograph has to be the noble giraffe.

These guys are born to pose, it would seem.

In reality I’m pretty sure their staring at the camera has more to do with checking out a potential threat than posing for a shot, but I often wonder if they hold a secret love of the catwalk; these guys will stand quite still while you click away. They don’t seem panicked at all, and as you move off, they just carry on munching 🙂
