Still is - about £1=R20. Pricing is international now. Half price 
pensioner discounts are available mid-week, out of season. Good for the 
campers & caravaners.

Re: GESO: Kruger Park scenes 9th Feb.

[ann sanfedele]

Alan, I love the Ostrich family - I've photographed and kinda made 
friends with ostriches in zoos but never saw chicks..!

The heron in classic pose is a keeper of course..

In terms of filters and light, if you were shooting in the old days with 
film and in black and white and just can't be out except in that harsh light
red and orange filters help.. but nothing is beats the natural light 
within a hour or so of nightfall or sunrise in landscape shooting 
especially..


Is there some reason where you live that getting out very early or 
staying out late is a problem for you because of your life style and/or 
work?
Or is it dangerous/uncomfortable  to be out at those hours because of  
the variety and extent of wildlife there (from no-see-ums to much larger 
critters)
that especially are fond of those hours and could be troublesome for 
humans?


In otherwords, I have to agree with Ken on this, although we don't 
always agree as you might ahve noticed over time :-)

Yeah, this isn’t the sort of issue that can be solved by a small bit of glass

Which filter, though?  One would want to lower the contrast a little, but not 
by making the whole scene flat.  An ND, perhaps, or, more likely , a polarising 
filter to cool the highlights. A thought, do they work on digital: I haven't 
sed one myself since I was mainly shooting film?
I often fix this issue in PP, which of course is much easier!

Thanks, Subash. It was standing on a tree-stump near the edge of Sable

Love the ostrich family.  I've seen ostriches at farm-parks here but never 
chicks.  About 15 or so years ago the next big thing was going to be emu 
farming, but it never took off.

The heron is a fantastic photo.

Ken, you commented on that before. I know it, but unfortunately that's 
what we get most of the day (rather harsh). Perhaps the use of filters

Thanks, Bob. Ostrich farming has spread to the whole country now. It 
used to be confined to the Karoo. BTW, there are even some Rheas on game 
farms around here. Kruger is so expensive for overnight stays now, we 
only do day trips. 300km in a day is about the limit. July to October 
when the bush has dried out & the grass eaten is best.

We went for a jaunt into Kruger yesterday to check the state of the
rivers after the recent heavy rains. An overcast but hot day. Lunch on
the Terrace at Olifants camp with several Eagles effortlessly soaring up
& down on the slope wind. Jack Davis would have loved it!    Scroll R

The Letaba River in flood.

A temporary rock pool. Very inviting for a quick dip!

The Olifants in flood

An Ostrich family with 7 chicks. An unusual sighting in Kruger.

A handsome male Grey Heron. Not quite as spectacular as your Great Blues.


All with the K5 & HD 55-300.

Thanks, Dan. Very perceptive of you to realize the Olifants River scene 
was a Pano. At this time of the year the bush is so thick that normal 
game viewing becomes impossible. We only saw 2 Ellies but there was tons 
of dung on the roads. Plenty of Impala about with this year's crop of 
lambs about 3 months old now.

Thanks, Paul. Good suggestion but first I'll need to PP a bit better! 
Those are the first Ostrich chicks we have ever seen in Kruger. With all 
the predators they must have real challenges reaching adulthood.

Beautiful - love the ostriches and the heron. I dont think I saw ostriches when 
I was at Kruger but I’d seen some a few weeks before, in Ethiopia, running 
alongside a bus I was in. Strange creatures. Saw some in a farmers field over 
here once when I was cycling in Dorset. That was even stranger.

Lovely work, especially the panorama.

You are very fortunate to have such a magnificent place for your photo
excursions, and you certainly make the most of the opportunities it
provides.

GESO: Kruger Park scenes 9th Feb.

We went for a jaunt into Kruger yesterday to check the state of the 
rivers after the recent heavy rains. An overcast but hot day. Lunch on 
the Terrace at Olifants camp with several Eagles effortlessly soaring up 
& down on the slope wind. Jack Davis would have loved it!    Scroll R

The Letaba River in flood.

A temporary rock pool. Very inviting for a quick dip!

The Olifants in flood

An Ostrich family with 7 chicks. An unusual sighting in Kruger.

A handsome male Grey Heron. Not quite as spectacular as your Great Blues.


All with the K5 & HD 55-300.
