This is the breakfast table at the Giraffe Manor just outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Two giraffes were perusing the table in the hope of finding something interesting to eat. This is not a Photoshop composite. To get this kind of shot, you have to stay in this B & B. The original establishment was a private estate built by a British family in 1932. Rothschild giraffes have roamed the grounds of the property since the 1970's when an orphaned baby was adopted by the owners. The giraffes are given corn pellets, and I had the pleasure of having them eat out of my hand over the breakfast table. My settings were 1/40, f/3.2, and 1000 ISO. I used a 16mm lens for the shot.
