Here is an image from back in February when I climbed Mt Kenya. This is Austrian Hut which is at the top of the scree slope where hikers stay the night before attempting the taller peaks, Batian and Nelion (5,199 metres/17,057 ft and 5,188 metres/17,021 ft respectively). It may look nice and warm, but it definitely wasn’t… the wind was crazy!

This is another photo from our walk around Crescent Island and our weekend at Lake Naivasha. It was really amazing to be able to do this. Of course, they are still wild, so we couldn’t really get close to these zebras and wildebeests — I’ve been closer in the game parks when I’m driving around — but it was still pretty awesome!

About two months ago we had a weekend off and drove out to Lake Naivasha for some time away. One of the cool things we did was visit Crescent Island where you can walk around with some African animals. I’ll be posting more of these soon but for today, this wildebeest is on the run. They get spooked really easily and I took the opportunity to capture this one hovering in the air.

This tower of giraffes was across the river from where we had a picnic lunch on Christmas day in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. How many giraffes can you see in this picture? It was awesome! See another shot of the river we were next to here or see the links below for more from the Mara.

I’ll bet this isn’t an image you usually see of African children. These kids were having fun playing in the Indian Ocean just north of Mombasa. You aren’t usually able to capture the sunset from the east coast over the water, and while this isn’t directly over the water, it was close. It was nice to be able to use the kids in the water as an element of interest. See more of my Mombasa photos from the New Year weekend here.
And for the record, yesterday’s image wasn’t a HDR. Bashar from 2 Rivers Photos guessed right and asked the important question if it really mattered if it was an HDR image or not. He’s right… to me (and Bashar, I’m sure), it doesn’t matter at all. HDR is a touchy subject for many. For me personally, it doesn’t matter how it’s processed. Photography is an art form and completely up to the artist and his or her personal style. Obviously, not each piece of art will please every viewer, but that’s okay. HDR and exposure blending are tools I use to create the final image into a work of art that I can be proud of.

Today’s photo comes from Dubai international terminal. While waiting on my long layover last August, I wandered around and got some photos around the terminal. Here is a question for you. Do you think this image is HDR or a single regular processed image? Share your thoughts in the comments and I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Another photo from Nakuru National Park. As we were on our way out of the park, we passed by this plain with water covering the ground in the foreground. The dark clouds really created a nice backdrop for the front lit plains. The two giraffes were a nice touch to an already great scene.

This white rhino crossed the road in front of us and was grazing on the plains on the shore of Lake Nakuru. Nakuru National Park is a rhino sanctuary and we saw 21 different rhinos on our safari that day.

Today’s panorama is from Baboon Cliffs lookout in Lake Nakuru National Park. It’s a beautiful place! This photo is from two rows of 14 vertical photographs stitched together in Photoshop CS6. I applied a Topaz Adjust filter and a curves layer for increased contrast. Click on the image for a version 2 times larger.

I hope you aren’t too put off by this one. It was really gross, yet equally awesome at the same time. This is the same lion in Nairobi National Park from the post on Day 292. Check that one out if you didn’t see it. It’s one of my favourites. He was eating the guts of an eland that had been taken down a day or two earlier right on the road. It was amazing to see them tear into it.

I’m thinking of trying my hand at a few ebooks. What are your thoughts on the matter. Do you think instructional ebooks would be more popular than a nicely laid out photo book? I’ve always thought that photo books on an iPad are essentially a nicely presented slideshow unless there is some quality text to read too.
On the Martin Luther King Jr public holiday last year, a few friends and I jumped into a car and drove to Chicago for the day. The weather was rather drab which withheld all drama from my photography. As I was processing this I thought a texture may add a little bit of interest, but I masked out the bean to make the subject clear.

When you go up to the observation deck in the CN Tower, you can stand on some thick laminted glass and look straight down to the ground. Wikipedia says that the glass floor is at a height of 342 metres (1,122.0 ft). The glass panes are 2.5 inches thick, consisting of 1 inch of laminated glass, 1 inch of airspace and another half inch of laminated glass. Apparently all that glass is strong enough to withstand 595 pounds / square inch (psi). Without knowing all these numbers I walked out onto it and got these two photos I have posted today.

This was one of the first sightings we saw on Christmas day. This cheetah was right on the side of the road taking a rest in the heat of the day. If I was him, I would have been in the shade, but I’m glad he wasn’t thinking like I would be. It was great to see one so close!

Yet another from the same area as the last few days. It was getting really dark, but we came across this small church at the end of our wanderings. I set up my tripod to capture a few exposures for this HDR.

While wandering around near the ruins that I posted yesterday, I found this little guy and decided to try some pseudo macro. My lens is a standard wide angle so this, unfortunately, was at 70mm from the minimum focus distance at about a foot.
