Hi Luggers,
As you have seen with the wonderful action photos taken by Jayanand and 
Alastair there was lots to see and photograph in Tanzania.
The time of day that I liked the best was the early morning - leaving the 
lodge with Venus, the morning star, blazing overhead -
and heading out before the sunrise. The light was remarkable at that time of 
day and hopefully we have pictures to prove it.

Here are a couple - taken on our last morning run - on the 11th day - as the 
full moon was setting on the horizon and the sun rise glowing behind our 
back as we faced the moon set.

First with gazelles and a crane flying by:

and second a jeep added to the mix:

All my safari pictures were taken with my just acquired Fuji XT 1 (I bought 
it in Japan one day before the official release - that is another story) and 
the 55 - 200 zoom lens. Esther's pictures were taken with the Olympus EM 1 
and the Panasonic 100 - 300 zoom. Helen also had the EM 1 and she and 
Alastair and Esther and me wrestled with the menus throughout the holiday. I 
preferred the pictures from the Fuji but the EM 1 was faster to operate. 
Neither system was fast enough in continuous AF to give Nikon designers any 
worry.

Please look large. C&C always welcome.
