I had 14 yrs working in African Game reserves taking pictures for the Rhodesian Tourist Board. Yes these are wild White Rhino but they got so used to me that after 3 weeks I got this close and could use my 67 Linhof with a 180mm lens! Pix on me was taken by the game ranger I worked with using my Nikon F2 (yes film camera)
That's an amazing capture of your courage and determination Graham.
Looking at your footwear, I am reminded of the old joke about the two photographers shooting lions in the wild. On reaching a very close location one guy takes a pair of Nike running shoes from his bag and puts them on. As he does so, the other guy says " what on earth makes you think you can outrun a lion?".
"I don't have to...I just have to outrun you".
I wonder what the other photographer in your shot, had on his feet?
