    some panoramic stuff from east africa

    hi everybody,

    just a short update & some new stuff:


    take the time to zoom in - lots of animals to be seen.




    pic 2&3: same spot, once rainy season, once dry season. guess which one is which. location: ngorongoro crater

    as usual, some more pics here. expect pictures from Mt. Kilimanjaro & Ngorongoro there soon.

          Beautiful photos, particularly the middle one. I'd love to have that for a wallpaper if only it was 1600x1024.

            no problem to get a higher resolution, you just have to find a way to crop it properly. suggestions?



            as you seem to like the greener season...

            the depression to the north-west of the crater, starring the tourist trap maasai-boma (village).

                Awesome shots Wulfy.

                Two questions:

                1. On the panorama of the flamingos, how far away were you? I noticed quite a narrow depth of field, so presumably you were able to get quite close?

                2. Did you break your wrist?

                  1. yeah pretty close & a bit careless with the camera-settings. should have changed the aperture.

                  2. yeah, bad luck again. 20m before the gate to mt. kilimanjaro national park, while taking pictures. didn't stop me though.
