White Rhino, Longleat Safari Park
Date: 25th June, 2005
Photograph Reference: P35018
Camera: Minolta Dynax 505si
This was taken in the Rhino paddock, and is a view not normally available to the general public. However in this instance, it was my then-partner's birthday and as a present I booked us and her sister on a VIP tour of the Safari Park, in which we were shown areas normally off-limits. By a stroke of luck, we had the tour to ourselves (they were normally accommodating six people, but no one else had booked on this tour).
Unfortunately, this has suffered a little when converting back to 6x4 from 7x5, which is what it was printed at, and I've lost the top of the back of the rhino. I no longer have the facilities to scan from a negative, so it is unlikely I will be producing any further versions of this photograph.
