On the ride, we saw these elephants and I quickly captured them with my iPhone.  If you&#8217;ve been on the safari ride, you know that they slow down a little, but rarely stop for the passengers to take photos of the animals.  While I think I got a good shot of the two elephants, there is a lot of vegetation in the foreground and really all around them.  You can tell the photo was taken from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cropped-Elephant-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cropped-Elephant-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cropped-Elephant-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cropped-Elephant-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cropped-Elephant-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cropped-Elephant.jpg 1592w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>&#8220;Africa: Up Close and Personal&#8221; by Sheryl Hamm \u00a9 All Rights Reserved 2022<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Using Photopea, I cropped my original image. Now, in my new image, the elephants appear much closer and you can see more detail.  You almost feel like you could reach out and touch them.  Using the rule of thirds, I cropped out some of the vegetation in the foreground and all around them to bring them more into focus.  In this picture, your eye is drawn to the lighter colored elephant in the front, but you are also able to observe the darker elephant in the background.  A trip to Africa is on my bucket list, but for now, Animal Kingdom in Orlando will have to do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While on a weekend trip to Orlando, my husband and I went on the safari ride at Animal Kingdom.
