Up close and personellie...
AN elephant peers down at a brave photographer in this amazing close-up after chasing his jeep through the African bush.
Snapper William Fortescue, 28, kept his nerve when the beast charged after his vehicle in the Amboseli national park, Kenya.
William, from London, said: “There was so much adrenaline charging through my system. It’s only when I look back at the shots afterwards I think, ‘S**t, we were close’.”
“The one of him standing over me… there’s so much power in it but also a real calmness.”
He said his secret is to “have the right guide with you who can read the animals”.
