Elephant

//Mitch Lawson//



On a recent trip to the zoo, my family and I observed this mother and baby elephant. Using my Nikon D50 camera with a 70 - 300 mm lens I was able to capture these two very different shots. At the 70 mm focal length I could capture both mother and baby. The 300 mm zoom gave me the close up of the baby nursing, causing me to wonder just how much milk a baby elephant drinks in a day!
