This is another shot from the overnight blind in South Africa. It was very intimidating to have a large herd of cape buffalo just a few feet from where I was shooting behind one-way glass. The animals seem like they are looking at me, but they are actually seeing their reflections in the glass. If you look closely, the legs of the buffalo at the far left seem smeared and unsharp. That's because muddy water had been kicked up on the glass by aggressive and rambunctious animals and the visibility was degraded. After about 30 minutes, it became impossible to take pictures through the muddy mess. My settings were 1/60, f/4, and 10,000 ISO. I used a 24-105mm lens set to 40mm. In post-processing, I applied Topaz DeNoise AI and Topaz Sharpen AI to help improve the quality of the image.
