Heavy Hippo Hurdling? Hardly!
It’s not until you see a hippopotamus on land that you can appreciate how short their legs are. Possibly the very last animal (with legs!) that you could imagine in a hurdling race.
This image shot with the Sony 135mm GM lens on a Sony A1, at ISO 100 f/1.8 1/4000. Image cropped heavily from 8640×5760 to 3564 x 2557. The 135GM is a pleasure to use wide open, providing you can nail the focus, and the A1 makes that easy.
