Fotosafari in Tansania

A delightful set, but it is too bad very few of us will see your photos.  Why?  Because many of us will not click through without incentive to do so.  In the future I strongly urge you to post one or two images directly here to lure us into clicking through.

 

Additionally, your images can display larger here than at your link.

Excellent photos Jan - but agree with Stuart - they are deserving of posting individually at the forum maximum size.  And forum members would be interested to see your 180mm to 540mm lens conversion. 

 

Best wishes

dunk, stuny, here we go.

I used the Ricoh M-mount with APS-C sensor (12Mp) and mostly the Elmar 4/135mm and APO-Telyt 3.4/180mm. Also the APO 2x extender. This lens equipment is 40 to 50 years old!

The difficulty, by returning home, was, what lens I used for what picture. Extender yes/no?

Have to find a solution for this!

 

The picture below was taken with the Telyt 180mm and extender.

Now the calculation: 180mm x 2 (extender) x 1.5 (crop) = 540mm.

At last I cropped the picture in Photoshop at 81% linear. So the resulting lens was 8/660mm.

 

The guides did not want to come close to the rhinos. Chinese medicine and GPS, I think. So this was the only picture of them.

The picture was taken in the Ngorongoro crater, the sunny background is interesting too.

Excellent photo Jan and interesting lens combinations. I have the same 'which lens used?' problem when using my R and Novoflex lenses on my T and DMR/R9 . One solution would be to use separately marked SD cards for each lens and remember to swap them over each time the lens is changed. Good to see the rhinos - and long may they enjoy their habitat.

Hello dunk, at first my wife proposed to take a photo of a card with a text while changing lenses. But that is difficult, macro against infinity. But there are iPhone apps, where one can speak into a GPS- and UTC-diary. The problem is to combine this in LR with the photos still.

The app gps4cam works fine with LR, it can send an email at the end of a day/tour to one´s pc. So no roaming costs, but it only collects the GPS data.

 

The photo below shows modern Masai children. As a Dutchman I think in such a case "Volendam is greeting".

One US$ per child per person. Better than going to school?

 

The photo was treated by Margulis software.
