Dashboard : Galloping Rhino

-Dashboard-
Galloping Rhino
This time I am before you with a photograph titled, “Galloping Rhino”. I was on a trip to Dudhwa National Park of U.P (India) during the May of 2015. This park is situated in the Terai area spread near the Indo-Nepal border in the Lakhimpur Kheri District (U.P). This place has buffer of reserved forest areas on the northern and southern sides. Major attractions of Dudhwa National Park are the tigers, swamp deer, rhinoceros , sambar deer, barking deer, spotted deer, jackal, wild Boar etc. I had an elephant safari in the grassland of this park on one pleasant morning. There I spotted few Rhinos who were busy in grazing. I suddenly noticed a young Rhino who seemed over alert of our presence. As our elephant proceeded towards him, it started running from the spot where it was grazing. Rhino’s movement was quite thrilling. We stopped going ahead and began to click the interesting gallop.  A few frames were clicked at continuous shooting mode of camera. This is one of them. The speed of shutter was kept at high end in order to capture the fast move of Rhino. I used a Nikon D 90 Camera to take this picture. The lens was Nikon, 70-300 mm.
