Taken at a local Nature reserve. Went out twice to try and capture images of animals running. My hope was to capture some Rhinos running. This turned out very difficult as the one time I did find them.. they only walked. The only running they were intent on doing was to charge my vehicle. They are two new Rhinos who have recntly been set free in the park. They are being hunted to extinction over the world but especially here in SA. See attached image
Went early the second morning as the animals have more "bounce" and came accross this herd of "Blesbuck" who wanted to cross my path. it was a huge herd and they just kept coming. There were some spectacular jumps but I was never at the right angel for these to look any good. Saw these three coming from my right and panned with them. Could not believe my luck when two of them jumped at the same time and the little one charging for dear life (looks like it). They were never in any danger but when the start running it looks like adrenalin being injected into them and it's pure muscle, agility and strength floating across the grass plains.
Thanks for the comments and voting.

Nice shot Rian. I haven't been on DPC in a few days and a pleasant surprise to see this wonderful panning image of yours in the top 10! Nicely done.
Not the Wildebeest you originally mentioned but a great shot none the less!
I've been looking at this all week, loving it, and couldn't wait to see it on my good monitor. Now that I have, well, wow. It's an absolute beauty. Cool tones, graceful and beautiful. It's really a stunning piece of work.
