There is a place that will connect you to Africa in a way that few other places can...
A place where you walk with wild elephants, lions, buffalo and painted dogs... A place where trees dwarf the elephants and the elephants dwarf the man... This place is called Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe, and it's a UNESCO World Heritage site. We mainly visit it for the fantastic wildlife experience, but the beauty of the place has really gripped me since my first visit. On previous trips I found it difficult to portray the endless winterthorn forests and floodplains using a wide-angle lens, instead resorting to a 70-200mm lens for compression and panoramic framing of the trees themselves. The last sunset of the recent wildlife photography safari I led there provided some nice high clouds, and I found a spot along the banks of the Zambezi river where a composition does somewhat justice to the place. Techs: Nikon D800 Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 @ 14mm f8.0 | ISO-200 Blend of 3 exposures for the dynamic range PLEASE do click on the photo to display properly Morkel Erasmus
