During the days of film cameras, the photographer would usually continue shooting until the end of the film roll was reached--usually resulting in 37 full frames and a partial 38th frame. This partial frame usually wasn't usable, unless you made a special cropped slide mount, and was usually scratched during processing.

But in this digital age, anything is possible. I ran across this saved film end (along with other scratched full frame slides, also easily digitally correctable) and decided to digitally resurrect the image with a film scan and Photoshop.

So from somewhere in Africa, in the Age of Kodachrome 64 (I expect the early 1990's), I present a rare split-eared Black Rhino. The camera was probably a Nikon F3, with a 500 f4 ED IF lens, since I switched to Canons in the mid-90s (that automatically rewind the film after the 36th frame).

Big, open spaces are fraught with danger for small mammals such as the Snowshoe Hare--the resident Great Horned Owl or a migratory Rough-legged Hawk could swoop down from the sky with distrastous results. So who can blame the bunnies for using a culvert to cross under the road?

At first glance, this looks to be another photo of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara River during the great migration. A second glance will show the reason for the hurry -- the migrants have just passed a wildebeest that has been caught by one of the many resident crocodiles. With memories of such sights, all river crossings are treated with great mistrust and even greater speed.
