Shooting an Elephant

Wildlife photographer Paul Souders managed to write off a handful of expensive cameras while taking these close-ups of bull African elephants drinking at a water hole in the Nxai Pan National Park, Botswana. In order to get the shots he used a remote controlled device mounted to the camera body. (Paul Souders / Barcroft Media)
