Hi Paul,
Trip was great - the green season is completely different then it was when I was there this past July.
They driver/guide I hired was based on a friend’s recommendation who use to live in Kenya and Tanzania—I used him this past July and again on this trip.
For less money than bigger operators charge, it’s was only me and him out on safari—not a large group—so I could go where I wanted without any issues.
I’ve been a few times now so I would be totally comfortable doing a self drive. However my guy knows how to find the animals I was interested in without using a radio like other guides.

Playing around a bit with the OM-1 this morning. I still have to sort out some of the settings but overall my hit rate is certainly higher then any of the other Olympus bodies I’ve owned. Still only a few images where tack sharp, and those that aren’t were easily fixed in post as they are certainly sharper than my E-M1X.
Also the AF is a lot faster to acquire the subject—-like night and day faster.

Heavily cropped but not processed, from my first outing with the OM-1 and the 150-400mm lens.
I got tons of those with other cameras, but this was the first time I shot the peregrine landing with this combo. E-M1 III never was this sticky with its AF (never got a chance to use the EM1 X on this location).

i think these are the best of the bunch so far for tonality and such.

So, I went out again to see how the combo does with peregrines.
Lens was at 400mm, f/4.5, ISO 640.
The first image is where the peregrine starts flying away from the rock face and I just point the camera and it picks up the bird (C-AF, bird detection, all focus points).
The second one is where the bird is as close as it got to me before turning away, same burst.
Third one is the second shot cropped out of the camera.
Fourth is the second shot with Topaz sharpen applied.
Actually, what's most surprising to me is how quickly this combo picks up a bird against that background.

The peregrine shots are very encouraging.

No subjects were willing to let me get close to them this morning, so I was shooting with a 1.4x TC on top of the built-in 1.25x TC most of the time. The results are okay, but not great... hopefully I can find something to shoot without having to resort to the TC's.

By the way has anyone heard from Tony? I see that he hasn’t posted in over a month.

He's probably too busy trying to blur out the backgrounds in the images from his f/16 Canon telephotos...
