at 27mm, 1/1250 f/5.6, ISO 400, hand held. Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe, Mana Pools NP, ottobre 2019 con F.Veronesi: il fotografo al lavoro. Il silenzio è rotto solo dal clic-clic della camera e dall'elefante che mangia. Il tasso di adrenalina è comunque sempre alto....

I agree with Mr. Adivor
Such behaviour is unacceptable and irresponsible.

Quesito (ignorant): so close do you not bother animals?
In safaris in the presence of animals we never got off Jeeps, not even with a zebra
(never seen kicking a zebra? I don't think it's healthy... ;-) )

Dear Mr. Roby, that the behavior is "unacceptable and irresponsible" I think is his idea that I do not share but respect: at Mana Pools are done mainly walking safaris with the approach to many mammals, elephants and lions. For me it was the third time I have done this type of photography always driven by very serious professionals and I never had any problems. Of course for those who do a "do-it-yourself safari", there are many, the thing could be different.

"Tourists wishing to observe animals in their natural habitat should be aware of their potential negative effects on animal welfare. The research should study the standards of best practice to minimise these negative effects"
This is what a note from several local operators (I have a friend who works in the sector in a reserve), do because there is god money is not said to be 1 safe 2 positive for animals.

Let's just take the classic 3-4-500mm photo without breaking the watermelons to the animals.

Well! From a photographic point of view, the perspective is a little different and the shooting is with unworkable angles on the Jeep.
On ethological and bioethical discourse we can talk about it...
Animals have well-defined mental patterns and so it's just a communication problem.
I imagine that the professionals who bring you to live this beautiful experience, are experts in communication and animal behavior, will be the first to respect these principles... if they don't want accidents!
I think it's an unforgettable way to live, so why not?
I don't think it's a money problem or not, but an enlargement of one's own experiences, which will remain indelible.
We enthusiasts live not only in images, but with beautiful memories... so I quote Paolo Stella.

The problem is that there's definitely one with a rifle nearby
If the tourist was at risk because he irritated the animal, they shoot who do you think
?

This is the biggest and most frequent problem than one can imagine, both with elephants and big cats.
I repeat, these practices are absurd and the most dangerous there is, avoid them even if with your money you think you can buy yourself the perfect safari on foot ;-)

I just wanted to clarify and then I will not make any more comment, that the behavior held by the group of photographers who participated in the tour, has always been that of the utmost respect towards animals: never has anyone tried to do actions that could annoy the animals to take a particular shot (one of the participants was one of Nat Geo's top executives).
I just wanted to talk about Mana Pools and its inhabitants not other areas where elephants for example if you're also in a vehicle 50 meters away get really angry: I've been all over the world photographing mammals and I know the kind of behavior from Keep.
If you've never been to these areas of Zimbabwe, you can't have a clear idea: even elephants that stand up to rip the branches up, they certainly aren't forced by man to do so.
Good day at all 8-)

Regarding the success at Svalbard:
@Roby Photo
Personally these guys would throw them in jail for quite some time for their irresponsibility with their driving.

Quoto.

The conservation of the pachyderms is very much linked to tourism, until a few years ago they were at risk of extinction due to ivory hunters. Definitely better more photographers and less hunters!!
A greeting to Paul. ;-)

I wonder why you have to criticize? I think Veronesi, a little bit, knows what he's doing... ?? The elephants in question will live in contact with humans 356 days a year for a lifetime, if the human is an African who collects wood or an Italian who photographs, what changes?
To Svalbard it's law to turn armed, of bears die 100% of those who get too close to man; by that I don't mean that it's nice and fair that they die because of swaggering photographers, but it doesn't center anything with elephants coming.
The photo is beautiful and the experience must have been superb, with one of the best guides there are, also Italian.
