Dick on Aruba Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Very nice series! I like the Leopard the most. Thanks for sharing, Dick. Mar 24, 2007 at 12:56 AM

Normcar21 Offline Dedicated FM Account Locked p.1 #8 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Such a nice visual journey through that area that I wish you had posted a bit larger so that they could be enjoyed even more. You sense of color, exposure, and presentation are really attractive and I simply want to "zoom" in a bit more to get an even more detailed look Mar 24, 2007 at 01:32 AM

FishingOwl Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Kenya- tsavo east/west great shots! I love the leopard! #1 is indeed a roller - a European Roller, to be exact Mar 24, 2007 at 02:30 AM

Deanlewis Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Thanks for all the positive feedback and i'm glad you enjoyed them, i'll see if I can get a few more up and perhaps try slightly larger images. Cheers Deano. p.s. all images were taken from safari vehicle using a bean bag for support. Mar 24, 2007 at 08:56 AM

Philip Bekaert Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Very nice photos of a lovely area. Lioness and leopard are the best to me. When have you been in Kenia? Can you describe a bit your trip? I intend to go also in the future. Greets. Mar 24, 2007 at 09:51 PM

Hi Philip, just pm me your e-mail and I'll send you as much info as I can, the one thing I can guarantee is that you will want to go back. We took our two small children so we were limited to some respects to the size of our safari, but even 4 days was a sheer joy. Deano Mar 24, 2007 at 09:59 PM

JJBub Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Hi Dean, These are super shots. Wonderful poses and very sharp. Love the low angle on #3 and the light on #4. The leopard is gorgeous. Mar 24, 2007 at 11:12 PM

Greg Matty Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Kenya- tsavo east/west #4, #6 and #7. BTW, do you ever see any motorcycle tours on safari? I think a two wheeled safari would be a blast. As dangerous as that sounds, if Africa is anything like Central America, a lot of locals get around on motorcycles and unless they are routinely injured/killed by lions, it may be no more dangerous than a car. Unless you stop and leave the bike of course. Greg Mar 26, 2007 at 03:23 PM

raymondjbarlow Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Kenya- tsavo east/west I like your compositions, and wow, what a sight! Mar 26, 2007 at 03:44 PM

Scott Legato Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Stunning shots. #7 is my favorite, but maybe crop some off the right side? Just a thought. Mar 26, 2007 at 03:59 PM

sheilar Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #17 · Kenya- tsavo east/west These are amazing Scott! The two cat shots are my favorite, but I enjoyed them all. Great lighting. I'm wonding if that adult hippo is pregnant? or are they usually that fat? ~Sheila Mar 26, 2007 at 04:24 PM

sheilar Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Sorry Dean, posted the wrong name. ~S Mar 26, 2007 at 04:34 PM

melicious Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #20 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Great shots, Dean!! You got some once in a lifetime shots in there. I am planning on going there in the next 3 years as well. I have been eyeing the 300mm that you have. Can you tell me how much you used that lens when you were out there? What was your most used lens? Thanks, MEL Mar 27, 2007 at 01:51 PM

Greg Hi Greg, apart from the obvious dangers with the animals, the only motorbikes suitable would be trials bikes, the roads are behond explanation, they are that bad Deano Mar 29, 2007 at 07:11 PM

What was your most used lens? Thanks, MEL Hi Mel, thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay getting back to you, been away for a few days (work) I found the 300mm to be superb on this trip and I would say that It was used on 60 % of the shots I took with about 80% of those with my 1.4 tc attached. The other shots were taken with my 80-200, now i'm a mere novice at this game but my only advise would be to take 2 bodies I would have lost so many shots if I had to change lenses and the dust is everywhere so not the best enviorment for lense changes. The other most important bit of kit is a bean bag ( which I have been selling on the b&s forum) Most of my shots were pick up and shoot, no time and space for a tripod so a good bean bag will keep most of your shots sharp.

melicious Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #23 · Kenya- tsavo east/west Hi Deano, Thank you for your response. I'm glad you used that lens a lot, but now, unfortunately for me, I have another toy to buy. I have heard great things about beanbags and will definitely get one before I go out there. Thanks, MEL Mar 29, 2007 at 07:27 PM

Igor Shuryak Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #24 · Kenya- tsavo east/west I enjoyed all of them - great quality and interesting subjects. The hippos especially got my attention - the portrait of the female shows a hippo from the front, which is not the usual angle. One can see how cyllindrical they are. Thanks for sharing.
