i-G12 Wat?  More info Post edited over 1 year ago by i-G12. | Dec 13, 2021 13:03 | #2182 CyberDyneSystems wrote in post #19318038 Let us know your planned itinerary in brief? I would love to go again! Mine is to go to the Great Migration (Maureen already did that) in the Masai Mara in late August or early September. Not sure of exact dates yet. Lodging is the Mara Bush camp. There is an included balloon ride which I’ve never done before. This is only an 8 night trip but I’m okay with that. You see a lot in 8 days and we won’t be traveling to a lot of different camps like I’ve done before. That eats up a lot of time that could be used for more game drives etc.

MaureenSouza Ms. MODERATOR Something Spectacular! More info Post edited over 1 year ago by Maureen Souza. | I am going back to the Masai Mara September 10-17th. I am going on a specific photography safari with C-4 Safaris. I can give you their info if you want...just message me. I like this company because they have off road permits and we are accompanied by well known photography guides so they know how to position the vehicles for the best angles and lighting ops. Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Tronhard Goldmember  More info | Dec 14, 2021 21:27 | #2184 In the Manner of Sebastião Salgado... We are emerging form 15 weeks of lockdown in Auckland, NZ. So, going out to shoot has had limited scope. I wanted to make some small effort to emulate Salgado's style, so I set a task for myself and my camera group to shoot images in the manner of his work. Essentially he photographs social and environmental issues and his style echoes his photographic roots of using Kodak Tri-X film with high contrast and grain - despite moving to digital cameras. The subject of this image is apropos to me because Orangutans are threatened by loss of habitat and poaching. This was taken at the zoo, and while I recognize that they offer the last bastions to preserve some of our most threatened species that, in itself, poses a conundrum... The confinement of species to (despite our best efforts) an artificial environment, thus changing their behaviour: especially for large, roaming species. Furthermore, since catching more animals in the wild (with some exceptions) is prohibited, there is an increasing risk of in-breeding - although significant efforts are made to mitigate this. I took the image in RAW, converted to greyscale with enhanced contrast, dehazing and increased the noise to the maximum to get the effects of the Tri-X film that is his modus operandi. Best seen expanded. "All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow", Leo Tolstoy;

MaureenSouza Ms. MODERATOR Something Spectacular! More info | Dec 16, 2021 22:53 | #2186 I gave Skip's camera and lens to my sister, along with a week of intense teaching & practicing as she was going To Antartica, the Falklands and South Georgia Island for 24 days with National Geographic. I put the camera in RAW and told her I would process her photos for her. She did a pretty good job on stationary shooting ( swimming penguins and whales were most trashed) but I have loved going through this little series of icebergs and penguins and I do have her permission to share.
