2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Oryx, Damaraland, Namibia
You Can Run But You Can't Hide

Species: Oryx | Location: Damaraland, Namibia

By Deb Talbot

I chased Oryx for days in Namibia but they are skittish and run so i have many shots of Oryx rear ends. Finally one thought he was concealed well enough to turn and stare.

So I caught this beautiful visage.

About The Photographer

The pictures i am submitting are from a NatHab trip to Botswana/Namibia last fall--I took over 2000 pictures!! As i have grown older i choose to travel with a super zoom Canon rather than carry along multiple lenses--convenience over particulars.
