p.1 #1 · Tanzania light and life (10)


Greetings, this is a mix of some special light and moments from my last safari.

Comments and critiques most welcome, thank you for looking. Exif intact...I think.

Jim

1) Ngorongoro Crater evening rainbow

2) Black Rhino silhouetted at last light against a backlit rain squall. (My driver was freaking out as I waited for this to line up as we were passing the crater curfew...oops, my bad.)

3) Cheetah portrait in golden light - one of three brothers we spent sunrise to sunset with.

4) Long-creasted Eagle sunrise silhouette.





1. Ngorongoro colors

Lots of great stuff.. makes me want to go back. I can't decide what I think about 7. The cub, to which my eye is immediately drawn, is OOF whereas Mom is sharp. The effect on me is strange but I like it because it is unusual.

A super set Jim. Too many good ones to pick, but the cubs sure are cute, and the last shot is special ~ Ron

Peter, thanks for the comment - that's all the DOF I could get in #7, even @ f8 - more would have probably been better.
