Thanks, Christine. Unfortunately the veld is not very picturesque in the dry
season. There was actually quite a lot of game down there but you needed
patience & binoculars to spot it. Lots of hippos. I will do the first pano
again in mid-summer when the bush is lush & the river a lot fuller. The
other day I obtained a brand new DA 18-55 AL WR for only R360 ($36) so I
will be able to do it in 3 shots @18mm rather than the 5 it took with my FA
28-80 @ 28mm. The new lens will give me a wider perspective for a lot of
scenes.
Regards
Alan

Love both. The first certainly isn't picturesque in terms of pretty subject
material. But the pano to me is a good choice because it works great to
show the vastness of rugged terrain. In other words, form compliments
subject here with nice dramatic results.
An excellent 2nd pano with great buffaloes! Cheers, Christine

A couple of Panos from last weekend in Kruger. Right click to chose a
larger size & then pan L & R.
Olifants Camp is situated high on a ridge on the E bank of the Olifants
river. From here you can see for miles. There used to be a pay telescope
at the point from which I took these 5 stitched photos but it was
vandalised & removed. This is a favourite spot for tourists, especially
those sporting big white lenses. My humble K110D was the rose among the
thorns. The Pano is roughly 180deg, looking W.

Buffaloes live in matriarchal herds comprising several hundred
individuals. The mature bulls graze alone or in small groups to build up
strength for periodical sex orgies. This herd of about 300 was basking in
the mid-day sun south of Satara camp.
