Hi folks !

2 weeks have passed, and we're already back (and safe) from our Botswana trip in the Okavango delta.

Wow ! That was really worth it !

I'll be doing more detailed reports (as i've promised to Brian Mosley), but for now, a good 30 pics for your eyes...

Hope you'll enjoy them, they'll be in the next 2 posts...give me a few minutes to post the links !

Regards,

Marc

simply - wow!

Marc, can you drop me line sometime about how you got on lens wise after our various discussions a few months back - looking at the images I don't think I led you astray! (but I don't have an exif viewer to see what you used for what here)

some stunning images there - awesome even........

Exif should be intact.

Most close ups and wildlife with e3 & Bigma, others with 12-60 or 7-14, maybe an occasional 50-200, with e510 or e500.

More in the following days and weeks ! !

Wonderful photographs! You have an artistic eye Marc. The elephant really caught my attention. I'd love to have it as a poster. You should be proud. This is a great collection.

I'm curious though. I only saw one photo of a person and it was a white guy???

Do you have any candids of the people of Botswana?

Marc!

Good to have you back - and all in one piece - they didn't feed you to the Jackals and sell your gear.

The pictures are fantastic. Can already hear Africa calling you back for a return trip.

What a lucky fellow! All the picts were great - I especially liked these 3:

Missed a great challenge!

Glad to see you back!

I can't decide which photo I like the most, maybe this of the 3 zebras... there is really a lot of great stuff here! I'm impatient to see more photos from this wonderful country!

BTW: Ready for the next challenge? )

I'm glad you got the opportunity to travel to Africa and made the most of it, photographically. I'm remembering the zebras, the three birds, the bird with purple/pinkish coloring at neck, the elephant's eye, a couple orange sunsets, and others. Good job. thanks.

...and welcome back.

When i saw your tittle I expected some nice pics, knowing you from challenges, but I didn't expect this amount of beauty. Zebras, three birds and ah, all are wonderful, except the elephant close up. You have highlights on it. ))))))))))

... of course not... excellent Marc, and I'll bet there are more to come. I particularly liked the gazelle in the grass and the three zebras, but all were rather lovely. Glad you both had a good time!
