Amboseli and the Maasai Mara

Thanks !

Super interesting to see you substitute the shorter focal lengths with primes over a 70-200. While I do shoot primes for dance, studio etc which is a bit more predictable I usually use the zoom which is flexible but still 2.8. This said when given the right opportunity, I’d take my 50/85/135 over the zoom any day

It definitely never gets old. There is something about being in the presence of things that create "awe" that keeps one coming back for more.
