Glad you liked them Ian. We were fortunate to get many photo ops with elephants at all three of our stops.

We found a cheetah and her cubs at Lena Downs

You really did take all your game to Africa, all of you !

Wonderful Cheetah pictures, Harry! What a great way to start a Saturday morning! Fire up the computer and look at Harry's Africa thread! Hope there are many more photos coming! Best, Pam

Harry, those lion cubs are such fun to look at. I love the one with the mother bathing her cub, with the cub's paw on mom's--simply a stunning shot!

Thats nice to hear Joel. I wasn't expecting much when I took those captures but was relieved when I started viewing them on the PC.

Great shots, Harry!!

Your topi looks like it has four eyes!

I like the wind in the fur of the cheetahs too.

The lions in all manner of repose are great!

redleash · Nov-01-2011, 04:04 AM #91

Keep 'em coming, Harry! The last set is fantastic!!

PGM · Nov-01-2011, 12:41 PM #92

Wow, Harry! I love the wildebeast and the hyenas. Last time we saw the play, The Lion King, the acoustics in the theatre were so awful that my husband, Edmund, was routing for the hyenas. I can't remember actually seeing a real one before.

As they say in the theatre, ENCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best, Pam

FarnsworthPhotography · Nov-01-2011, 11:22 PM #93

Great as always! Can't wait to see more!

If you haven't figured it out yet, shooting in Africa was a joy. Before I left I had to resolve an ongoing debate as to take the 200-400mm or the 500mm on the trip. I asked Andy Biggs and he recommended the 200-400. It was the best advice I could have gotten.

When photographing birds one usually tries for a full frame capture of the subject.
Kory Bustard

and this will carry over when you are shooting other subjects

These captures are OK but clinical. I could have gone to a zoo or Disney's Animal Kingdom and gotten similar results.

I'm still in the midst of my processing from the trip but the images that really get a response from me are the ones that show the subject[s] in their environment. Those are the ones that say "Africa" to me.

PGM · Nov-02-2011, 05:22 PM #95

Wow, Harry, these are amazing, and I completely get your point! Just terrific images! I hope you have many more to share. Best, Pam

The pride asleep in under the tree is pretty awesome. Got the wide panorama of the plain, a solitary tree, some lions and some beautiful color.

What an array of wonderful photos Harry. You have no idea how much pleasure it has given me to view them. I am looking forward so much to seeing the rest. I am pleased you have had a wonderful and a memorable time on Safari and I am sure you are the envy of every keen photographer.
