Eye-to-Eye, Common Eland
Eye-to-Eye, Common Eland
This begins a new and for me a different series of photos today. I’m calling it “Eye-to-Eye” and that title is self explanatory. This first image may look like a cow but it’s not, it’s a Common Eland, also known as the Southern Eland. They belong to the antelope family found in east and southern Africa.

No, I haven’t taken a trip to Africa. All the photos in this series will have been made locally.

The photos in this series were taken with a Canon S90 — it makes for some really close in shooting. ;-)

And here I thought that Salisbury was a little more civilized. Well, I guess they do call it “Common” Eland, so you might expect to see them around. :)

Paul, you’ve heard the saying…”It’s a jungle in my back yard” before haven’t you? ;-)

Thanks! I liked the glint and how dark and shiny the eye was as well.

Oh, this is going to be fun!!! I like this idea and excited to see the results of the S90. It really would have been cool to see your reflection in the eye, or can you?

Monte, thanks! I hope it’s fun…I certainly had fun making the photos and processing them. No, I was too straight on to catch my reflection. I believe the reflections in the eye is from the gound.
