Description
These three were just relaxing in the shade, and waiting for the dark of night to arrive so they could begin the hunt. Unseen, just to the left, was a land-rover with some National Geographic photographers in it who were also waiting for the hunt to begin. They had a camera and lens setup on top of their rover that was so big it looked like a truck mounted missile. They had better equipment than I did. :-)
My wife & I got invited to go on safari in Kenya with her sister, who was researching a children's book she was writing about the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, whose mission it is to rescue, raise, and return orphaned elephants back into the wild. It was a fantastic trip, and photographic opportunity, but unfortunately digital cameras were brand new, and my photography skills were not up to the task of taking perfect photos. I took about 4,000 pictures with my little Nikon 6mp camera, and threw over 3500 of them away when I got home and looked at my feeble efforts on the computer screen. But, man...... what a trip!
I hope to return someday with the equipment and skill sets that I now have. Maybe I'll only have to throw half of my photos away by then.
