Day To Night – a 27-hour photo by Stephen Wilkes
"It was the most gruelling and rewarding experience of my life," says Stephan about the process of capturing all the images he needed.
This amazing image created by Stephen Wilkes was create by combining various images that were taken over a 27-hour period.
Here is what he had to say about his experience:
Day To Night, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, Africa
“Last Spring, I traveled to Africa in search of a new location for my next Day To Night. I wanted to capture the passage of time as it related to the animal kingdom, and Africa’s incredible landscape. I scoured the park with my assistants and our guides, hoping for a vantage point rare to the human eye. As we drove along a long dirt path, I noticed an abundance of greenery in the distance. It was a watering hole— and as Tanzania was in week five of an unprecedented drought, this proved to be rather incredible. As I would learn in the coming days, animals of all kinds would flock to the spot, eager to share this one precious resource peacefully. In order to capture as much as I was able, my assistants and I had to hide behind a crocodile blind for 27 hours, taking in the incredible beauty of the Serengeti. It was the most grueling and rewarding experience of my life.”
