070811(b) - Tarangire National Park

Now we're on a roll!!! And it ramps-up from here...

Shot with the Sigma 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x TC. I had the polarizer filter in and didn't realize. Pics today and the 12th were therefore not as bright as they could have been (Cheetah photo the 12th really suffers; you'll see). But resulting color contrastiness with the polarizer of these pix are quite nice (with treatment in Lightroom as well however).

Today, in this outing, we have in quantity Ostrich, Zebra, Elephant, Baboon, Numerous birds, Giraffe, some Lions, and a few other species.

...oh, and some nice 30 second exposure shots of the Milky Way with the Pentax 50mm f/1.4 at the very end; you can see the stars move the 1/8 of a degree from the Earth's rotation in 30 seconds. I must say that I have never seen the Milky Way before in my life from all the ambient light in the US. Nor was it as visible in any other camp in this manner. Tarangire was glowing these nights...

Dates of pictures are marked relative to EST, off by 7 hours for Tanzania's time.
