Tag Archives: Phase One

Photography of the Rhino was quite exciting. A young White Rhino [ Not a Black Rhino] as previously stated. One could get quite close to this Rhino and  he was quite happy to be stroked! Could not use flash though, as I found out from the Keeper that Rhinos have very poor vision and the flash could really send him wild! The main problem was the good old British weather, it never rained but it was so overcast and trying to photograph a young, restless and boisterous Rhino required a fairly fast shutter speed. Shots were mixed up with my Canon and Mamiya 645 AFD with a P30 back. The Phase One impressed me at the  800 ISO rating, the files were virtually noiseless. Even at that ISO, I was only managing 125th Sec at f10, it really was a dull day. Thought I would show what kind of quality the Phase One P30 was producing and let the reader draw there own conclusions.
