Wildebeest Sunset

David Clarke

Wildebeest Sunset

This wildebeest, or Godfrey the gnu as we named him, was more interested in keeping an eye on us than watching the magnificent sunset going on behind him. He might also, of course, have been keeping a wary eye on a couple of lions that were lazing in the evening sun not far from us.
However, he was an obliging fellow; he stood still as the sun went down behind him and it wasn’t until the sun disappeared from our view that he seemed to shrug and wander off along the ridge.
Taken in the Masai Mara, Kenya.
Canon EOS 3 with Canon 300mm f2.8L lens and x2 extender using Fuji Provia transparency fim. Scanned with a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED scanner.

    Ciao DAVID!

    Simple, powerful, eye catching photography displaying a good strong colour contrast, minimalism and maximum use of negative space.
    Print this one big, mount, matt and frame it and hang it on a prominent wall with pride. Then invite all your family and friends over for dinner and let them drool about it.
    Exciting and incredibly enjoyable viewing my man!

    With this photograph you have provided us with a direct link with our deepest roots. I think this image pulls at us on a deeper, subconscious level.

    I’m sure you are familiar with Donald Johanson and his discovery of Lucy in the early 70s in the Rift Valley. Lucy proved beyond doubt that Africa is the cradle of humanity.

    When I take my time with your photograph I am seeing and experiencing a moment and set of circumstances that must have been witnessed by our earliest ancestors countless times through the millennia.

    I am left to delight in the fact that your photograph provides me with a direct link to a shared experience that is timeless and ancient. What more could a photographer hope to give to the observer than what you have provided here.

    Ill return often to make the connection with my ancestors and to explore the possibilities that your outstanding photographs offer in abundance.

    Thanks David

    Peter

  • David Clarke replied

    Peter, I am deeply moved and humbled by your comments. That a photographer with your talent should be so impressed by one of my images is something I shall treasure.

    The connection with ancient man is felt so strongly in this area of Kenya; it’s all around in the landscape, with the animals and with the still strong tribal customs, a feeling that I have not experienced elsewhere in the world.

    Thank you so much, Peter

    Hi David,
    Lots of interest here; I like that the wildebeest is off-center, while the setting sun in centered.
    Best,

    Very powerful and effective shot, Dave. This one would make a great poster.

    priceless – I would give my eye teeth for a shot like this (well, maybe…) ;o)

    Many thanks, Rachael. There were a couple of lions hanging around when I took it who might have been interested in eye teeth too – among other things! Btw, great portfolio you have there :))
