Black buffalos in the night

I had recently the opportunity to shoot pictures from the Zimanga Reserve overnight hides. There I could meet (face to face, really!) some of the largest herbivores of the African savannah: Water buffalos.

I collected some of these in a portfolio at Wild Focus: Buffles noirs dans la nuit.

Cape buffalos

Honestly, the Cape Buffalo is not a very beautiful animal. Most cows are more pleasant. But, it is impressively powerful and a nice landing strip for oxpeckers.

As you can see I had some fun with these subjects.

Buffalos, black & white

Some subjects are easier to render in black and white, I believe. The buffalo calls for simplified rendition where the shapes are improved by the lack of color which appears relying on much older technology.
