Aug 10, 2007 14:39

We left early the next morning (recording yet another superb sunrise that was invisible directly but only reflected in the lake in the crater bed)...

Thank you. It was an account of a day..from sunrise to sunset...but I forgot to include the two lionesses that we saw on the road within half a kilometre of our hotel, or the black-naped hare that sped on in our headlights for quite ten minutes, panicked in the glare..

What is a toyal lion? ;-D

What subjects do Tanzanians study most?

Al-zebra...

One of you best post from the trip so far - the images are outstanding and so is the flow of the post. as anush pointed out - it starts with a sunrise and ends with a sunset - beautifuly conceptualised. I am gussing that 90% of the images here are from the 20D and 30D ;) am i right ?

3 *BOWS* to you :)

deponti August 10 2007, 16:05:53 UTC

Thank you!

some from the S3 and some from the 20D. NONE from the 30D which I have not got my paws on...KM handled that, and with inputs from kalyan, amoghavarsha and sainath, he shot in CR2, and I don't know WHEN he will ever find the time to learn post-processing, do it, and post his pictures! :(( They are all in his camera..he has got some outstanding shots...

But you wait for my grainy shaky videos with the most interesting contents...will be getting to them..soon...!

Sorry, I meant, they are on his Fujitsu laptop (my laptop is an old Toshiba hand-me-down,which weighs 4 kg or more, overheats (mriga refers to it as the "nasbandi computer"), is more like a desktop, the hinge of which has broken...but which serves my purpose well!

wow thats cool - i bumped into ur 20D vs 30D image shot using S3IS image ;) and guessed this -- i am wondering what lens the 30D was holding - hope he gets some time to process those images and make you post them on ur LJ :)

sometime...that sounds familiar!

So long as you see the pics that's fine. No need to read the fine print!
