That first Zebra Head is just an incredibly beautiful photograph....the Elephant in the road is a picture worth a million bucks..the others are all way above Nice pictures, but those 2 would have made the trip worth while for me ...hard to believe that you are back already...I really hope you enjoyed your Safari as much as I appreciate these pictures...thank you for posting them

High end equipment for sure but the results are phenomenal. If you’re going to do a safari like that, it deserves great equipment and you obviously know how to get the most out of it. Congratulations again!

I should mention that the Nikkor 600mm f/4 lens costs $12,300.00! I rented it from Lens Pro To Go for $800.00. It is truly an amazing piece of gear.

I’d have to agree with you when I can count the eyelashes on the zebra. Your part of the equation is that, as in portraiture, you correctly focused on the eyes of your subjects. Great equipment in the hands of mediocrity is little more than an expensive paperweight. Again, well done, I and others here,appreciate your efforts, talent, and taking the time to share these images with us.

Thank you- there is still more to come. I have this entire week-end to edit. I am about half way through the trip at this point. I am now getting to some of the drone footage, which I cannot edit until I start going into Premiere.
