p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Tarangire National Park - Tanzania


Hi all,

Went on a Safari trip in Tanzania. It was really a first for me, first time to Africa (if we exclude a trip to Egypt), first time really using my a7, first time shooting any thing at 300mm, and the first time I have ever given wildlife shooting a go.

Any critique is welcomed!












Lilac-Breasted Roller - The background is an elephant







Southern Ground Hornbill







Side-striped jackal

You are off to a nice start with this set. The roller and the hornbill stand out. It's nice to have the whole animal in the frame though ~ Ron

Nice set, with #1 being humorous. Hornbill is my pick as best in set.

Ron & KCollet, thank you very much for the comments. @ Ron i guess you are referring to the Jackal and the Elephant, i get you point. I have two others of elephants where the framing is quite different i hope that you'll let me know what you think of them



I have a few where they are taken with a 28mm instead of a tele, I actually think i prefer those

Nice set and a great start. I am sure you are hooked for life now.

From the solo elephants in the second set, a bit more foreground would nail it.

Thanks, I changed the crop a bit and it does give the photo a bit more balance!

These are lovely, Andreas! Careful, wildlife photography and trips to Africa are addictive. My favorite is the wide shot of the elephants...it smells like Africa! ~Greg

Thanks! Yes it was fantastic, I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot since i was very young and the trip to Tanzania i really up there among the best trips I have ever been on. I was booked through a travel agent here in Denmark, but the local operator was Good Earth.

Thanks Greg. I can see why one could get very addicted I am already looking at where I could potentially go next time, when ever that might be, never hurts to dream! Next trip for me is three weeks in Thailand in about a months time, but there I'll only take shots of cities and people.
