Two giants

My entry for the animal photography challenge @photocontests

I found this imposing giraffe in front of Africas second highest mountain, Mount Kenya. I shot this picture in full drive from the top of our car, thus the high shutter speed.
The vibrations made everything hilariously difficult, luckily it still worked out in the end.

Canon 50D - Sigma 70-200 mm - F 5 - 1/8000 shutter speed - ISO 640

Amazing framing. I would love to get there one day. How do you find living in South Africa? Is the crime there an issue or does the media just take it out of context like everything else?
