Thanks for Sharing the pics! I do hope you can find time to also share some info on the trip itself. But, if it's just pics I'm all for it! Congratulations.

Thanks Tom and these pcis are just an appetizer.

I expect to start a thread in the Journeys forum eventually because so many of the images are not specifically wildlife. 13 days in Africa with 9 other photgraphers, two workshop leaders, numerous guides and many Massai tribesfolk plus a number of flights in Cessna planes produced a variety of different types of images.

I've kissed my wife good-bye and I'm tucked away in my office trying to make sense of 16,000 captures. I've gone through the first 1,000 and only have 15,000 more to work on. Hopefully I will emerge in time for Thanksgiving.

Great set of cat shots, Harry. Shooting them in the rain was golden, wasn't it?

I look forward to see more of your Nikon files low noise imagery!

Thanks Pam, it was easy to get low angles with the vehicles we were using. I tried to avoid shooting from the top as much as possible. The animals in afica are like the birds in Florida -they don't consider vehicles to be a danger so you can get very clsoe to them.

Hey Harry, ya missed the shot of Andy in his armored Humvee.

Great shots, looks like you had a wonderful time.

bhowdy · Oct-22-2011, 03:23 AM #50

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.

I got quite a few captures of Andy but since this is a family firendly site I can't show most of them.

I had a fantatsic time. The best trip I have ever taken.

Thanks Bob and I cannot tell you how exciting the Africa trip was. I intend to return to Africa ASAP.

During our first three days spent at Lewa Downs we got some excellent photo ops of African elephants.

Netgarden · Oct-23-2011, 11:20 AM #59

Harry, fabulous! What a dream trip, displayed by your talent! More please!
