Paul Bruce, Centerville, OH
“While in the Serengeti, we saw some huge herds of zebra and wildebeest,” recalls Bruce. “The line of animals ran from one horizon to the other and crossed in front of our vehicle. It was beautiful to watch them run, like this mother and child were doing. I kept the shutter speed slow and panned the camera in sync with their speed in order to give the sense of motion.”
