Cheetah and Gazelle on the Move

We were encouraged to do some panning and slow shutter speeds shots by our guide. It's hard to shoot images in a new place and know that at least 95% will not turn out. This cheetah had multiple stalks on a herd of gazelle so I could do play with some settings. As you can tell from the ISO it was very late in the afternoon.

Technical: cheetah 1/8 sec @ISO1600, gazelle 1/50 @ISO6400

Safari Adventure

I am returning to Minnesota time, jet lag doesn't get easier, and sorting through a week of images and video clips from the Masai Mara. It was the trip of a lifetime courtesy of Angela. It was her prize for winning the Comedy Wildlife Photography Contest (http://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/) was a week safari in the Masai Mara, Kenya. It was a special time for both of us, more so I think for a proud father. Two nights on a plane, with a layover in London, is a long way from the Midwest. Our final deplaning was at this airstrip. Lots of images to share in the next few weeks.
