Botswana Safari - November 2011

[Shreyas]

Superb shots Russel!

Looks like this Cheetah trio considers you family. Love the angle and proximity of the cats.

[pault]

Very good indeed - the first cheetah shot is very special; can't think of seeing one looking quite that way before - can't just be the angle as they are often on termite mounds (or even up trees ) The combination with the closeness? Second cheetah shot isn't one you see every day, either! I love those low angles for all of them - hope to see more.

Nice ...... Is that the door of the new Landcruiser?

 

here is a picture of one of the new landcruisers at kwara

Johan, you just can't help yourself, can you? I bet you are not really so grumpy face to face. I think that you get a kick out of it.

Thanks all, apologies for not posting anything new at the moment.

 

I am currently living out of hotels for 4/5 nights a week so have not been able to get too much editing done.

[Atravelynn]

No rush!

[madaboutcheetah]

I certaiinly can't rush you, as I have unedited stuff from last year. Been busy with work, travel, social obligations etc etc., and extremely lazy.....

 

Pity we miss each other by a day or two, but, will text you to let you know of the game viewing at Mara plains. Will start getting my cameras out weekend and see if I remember how they work .......

Have a great trip MadaboutC. Russell, your low angle shots are out of this world, how brave do you have to be? I dont suppose your normal guide would let folk like me out of the vehicle! I get as low as I can and prefer to photograph out of the windows

[madaboutcheetah]

Thanks so much, Samburumags

[safariguy]

Great images, Russell. See you in a few weeks in Kenya!

[Game Warden]

I agree with Johan, enough of your discards, let's see the keepers

 

Here's hoping you make the ST GTG in London for the photographic tutorial.

I am always a fan of irony. I am also a fan of people being civil and nice online. :-)
