    Looks like a great trip, Karl! I really like #12 the best. :Dthumb.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    Thank you to both of you.

    It was a great experience over there. I wasn't able to get a huge amount of shooting opportunities and sometimes it seems the camera can't detect the beauty the eye sees. Uganda is a stunning country!

    I envy your trip and I like #12 thumb.gif . Your watermark 2010 is very distracting to my eye.

    Thanks Dan,

    Yes, the watermark isn't great, I've made a new one just this week but didn't change all these ones over.

    I like the comp in #6 and #9, and overall I like #12 the most. Uganda is an incredible place with a most incredible and warm people. Were the shots from QE Park or Murchison? And were you able to fork out the astronomical fee to see the Mountain Gorillas at Bwindi?

    Thanks Dan.

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to any of those places you mentioned. I am hoping to get back there soon and see all the tourist parks. I was working for an NGO as part of my university studies for three weeks so these sunrise pictures are just from the east side of Kampala so there isn't really much city to get in the way. I did get to Jinja on one of the weekends though - that's where the Nile River starts its 4000 mile journey north.

    It is a huge fee to see the gorilla's isn't it!! I think I will be paying it next time though - it would be an amazing experience.

    I had a great time, even if I didn't get to see a lot of the country side.
