"A giraffe with a thirst"

”This giraffe drank numerous times over a 10-minute period and each time it came up, it would do a double flick of its head. On the second flick the water would create a neat “S” pattern. Focusing on the animal as it rose was tricky, so in the end we set the focus to manual and waited for the giraffe to move its head up and into the frame before photographing – rapidly.“
