Rhino - I Finally Got Him

I've been hunting a Rhino photograph for years. I finally got him to pose for me today. He's normally nonstop motion, pacing back and forth, never giving me a still shot. Today, he just suddenly just stopped and looked at me. I was a considerable distance from him but managed a decent shot.

What surprises me Bob, is the fine detail you get, and in your words, you were a considerable distance away.

That's a great photo Bob. I would stay a considerable distance away from that fella too.

When I test a new camera I torture it with extreme conditions. You would think that at that distance, shooting at ISO 1600, that you wouldn't get a sharp, detailed photo. Yet the Exif data speaks for itself.
