Hi Y'all,

I arrived home on Sunday after three weeks of traveling including two weeks spent in Kenya. I came home with around 16,000 captures so the next few weeks (months?) will be a post processing frenzy.

I'll have lots more to say about the trip and the workshop that will never adequately describe the experience. Right now I'm going to go with magical.

Here are a few of my initial work-ups. I've just begun to work up the images so these may not be the final products but its a start.

EDIT Instead of doing mutiple threads on the trip, I'm just going to post additional images in this thread. If you're so inclined check in here to see new images as I continue my post processing. If you're interested in a more detailed description of the trip and workshop check out my thread in the Journeys Forum.

Thanks Chris, I think its a pretty safe bet that more images are coming from mthis trip.

Well welcome home Harry . It does look like you may have had a good time

Do not forget to do a thread on lens use for the trip and if you had only 1 camera and 1 lens you could have taken what would that have been ? Please do not say canon in that thread OK

Glad it went well

Thanks Jeff. If I could only take one camera and one lens (god forbid) I would go with the Nikon D3s and the Nikon 200-400 f/4.

What? No squirrels

I like the first two. Do you know if they're litter mates?

Unfortunately Africa is infested with squirrels too. I tried to get a few pics of them after I threw some rocks but the buggers were moving too fast.

The first two were siblings.

Thanks Gale its good to be home but I do miss Africa and want to get back there again.

The good news for ya is that I have loads of lion pics (they were all over the place) the bad news is that Lewa Downs (where we spent the first three days) had experienced a drought so there wasn't much color in the vegetation. So I'm doing lots of B&W images from those days.

bhowdy · Oct-22-2011, 03:23 AM #20

So glad that you had a "magical" trip Harry. Never thought that I would be interested in an Africa trip, but after seeing your first few images my mind is being changed.

All great so far but I like the second image the best so far.
