I drive ahead, anticipating their route. Five kilometres later I pull off the track and wait patiently, my camera ready. The bull elephants are moving faster now as they smell the water. they are now walking directly towards me. I lift my camera and place it firmly on my bean bag, which straddles my car window. As I tremble with anticipation, the elephants are less than fifty meters away. Their sheer size as they march into my frame is overwhelming. I check my settings. Then for a few seconds, my heart and brain synchronise as one. I zone out as I compose and recompose. The lead bull elephant flaps his ears. It was the moment I was waiting for; I pressed the shutter. In less than a fraction of a second, this one single frame has captured the essence of these amazing creatures - the Magnificent Seven"
