In September 2020, I drove through the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park and saw an eagle on one of the trees. I had to make a u-turn and capture it. I got out of the car, camera held tight and heart beating fast. I remember how I said silent prayers for the eagle to not move until I was closer. Using manual mode and the limitations of the lens that I was using were a challenge. After walking through the taller-than-me grass, with my focus right on my target, it started flying away and I used the panning method to follow it until it was on a further away tree. It was only after this moment that I remembered that I was in the park where potential danger could be closer than I thought. I rushed back into the car and drove of, proud and excited about my catch.
