This beautifully illustrated video is only a small fraction of a 22 minute version. It was captured the very early days of Hobart's career as a wildlife photographer.
Nearly all scenes in the video show the moments leading up to corresponding still images that are now part of his catalog of high quality archival prints.
The Music was composed by Alan Williams.
With the magnificent Mt. Kilimanjaro as a backdrop I encountered a small heard of elephant moving through Amboseli National Park in Kenya. This baby elephant came close to investigate us and decided to show us how tough he was by waiving his trunk. Each of the other elephants in this scene are displaying typical elephant behavior ranging from shaking dirt off grass before eating it to the other calves playing without a care in the world. At the end the matriarch comes through and quietly signals that it is time to move on.
Less than 2 minutes of pure joy. Each frame of this video was individually processed to achieve a style that is reminiscent of old Victorian lithographs.

This is a very short video about using the Nikkor 600mm F/4 AFS VRII for the first time. It gives a glimpse into the world I live in while on Safari in Africa. Over 95% of all my wildlife photographs are captured with this lens because it allows me to "get close" to my subjects without disturbing them too much.
Nowadays Graham Hobart captures his images with mirrorless cameras that have no shutter and are therefore totally silent but this video shows the type of equipment he used in his early days. Capturing extremely high quality infrared images back then was not easy and failure was quite common.
It is not meant to show off as much as inform viewers about the efforts Hobart made to increase the chance of success on a photo safari.
