Running Blue Wildebeest

My main subjects are of nature and I hardly ever use slide film or film speeds lower than 400 because I want to stop any action possible. I also do not own any 2.8 lenses hence my need for a higher film speed. This is an awesome capture, not something I would have been able to do because of my use of higher film speeds. I really like it. Great affect!

I photographed this male Blue Wildebeest running to show its

dominance to younger bulls over the cows, with a slow shutter speed

and using the panning technique to blur the background and to create

a sense of movement in the photo. This was taken on a overcast day in

Etosha National Park in Namibia.

Interesting composition and really good action shot!

Very hard to make out.

Have seen a similar Andy Rouse shot - very good.
