Our evening game drives began at four p.m. and lasted until eight in the evening. At sunset, we took a refreshment break. On this, our last night on safari in South Luangwa, our sundowner was illuminated by a full moon. Our game spotter casually leans on the vehicle as he watched me make this twilight photograph, while the canopied Land Rover symbolizes the heart of the safari itself. This rugged vehicle, with no walls, and an elevated viewing platform, was far more suited to wildlife photography than the crowded “pop-top” East African minibuses supplied on previous safaris. For many of my game drives, I was its only passenger -- shooting my pictures from the seat next to that ladder. I abstracted this image by underexposing it, barely depicting the vehicle and silhouetting our spotter. The moon is small, but because it rides alone in the vast African sky, it's large enough to be seen instantly. As I made this image, I could hear nearby hippos grunting and the distant trumpeting of an elephant. This photo may not function as photographic art, but it evokes vivid memories – another valuable function of Safari photography.
