My 6-week trip to Africa consisted of 5 African Countries (Tanzania, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, & Zambia). 4,000 miles covered over-land. I encountered lots of dust, sweat and creatures big & small (stating the obvious here). I took a modest 3000 images. Less than 10% made the discriminating final cut. I quickly learned (already had a hunch……) Wildlife Photography is a whole other ball game! You need real ninja skills to catch shots that are decent; Blind luck to catch shots that are “phenomenal”. I spiced the images up with different postproduction techniques to give it more of an artistic rendering! Warning…..this stuff is way different from my Architecture and Scenic’s! http://bit.ly/yyxEiS

I’m back from Africa. 6 weeks of Africa. We (The U.S) have it pretty good. Every time I travel (anywhere) the most overwhelming emotion I feel is when I get home. Had a wonderful time, but glad to be back in the US of A! There are so many aspects of life that are so much easier here, I’m grateful. So I tried pretty hard to not photograph too much architecture on my trip, I needed a break, but that itch crept in. Anytime I saw something very unique I could not pass it up. This is an interior of an upscale Safari Campground in Botswana.
