Overall, it was a truly amazing experience. I was probably about 20 yards from this big guy as he was beginning to stir from his afternoon nap, but I was safely enclosed in a Land Rover. These were shot at least one hour after sunset at the extremes of slow shutter speed - handheld (1/30 to 1/60 sec), long focal length (200-300 mm), and high ISO (800 for the E-30 and 3200 for the E-M5). I was pushing the E-M5 with the ZD 70-300 and the E-30 with 50-200 to their absolute limits.

Looks like he must have just woken up or eaten. How close were you when you took these?
