I’m busily working behind the scenes trying to get my photos catalogued and rated so I can started the editing process. Good thing I still have a stock pile of edited images that I can share.
Today, some of my artistic impression images.
I hope you enjoy, and wishing everyone a fantastic week ahead.
My images for today are a variety of sunrise and sunset photos from my time in Uganda and Kenya. Every moment of every day brings some new and different to appreciate 🙂
Giraffes at sunrise in the Masai Mara, Kenya.A silhouetted landscape in the Masai Mara.A misty morning in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.A break in the clouds at sunset in Ishasha.Another sunrise over the Mara.
Below is a random selection of my Artistic Impression images. I feel the animals and landscapes of East Africa work very well with this type of editing.
It’s always nice to look at things from a different perspective. I have loads of beautiful colour photos from this sunrise photo stop, and wanted to see how it felt in black and white.
Sunrise over the Masai Mara. Kenya, September 2016.
The WordPress post prompt for this week is “It IS easy being green” and when I saw that, I immediately thought of Uganda. Many of the places I visited in Uganda were amazingly lush forested areas, with varying tones of green as far as the eye could see.
I hope you enjoy my selection of green images 🙂
A hamerkop fishing at the edge of the Kazinga Channel. If I had to guess, I’d say it caught a tilapia.A black and white colobus monkey eyes us from the treetops. My wonderful guide JP spotted this beauty while driving between Ishasha Wilderness Camp and the Mweya Lodge, overlooking the Kazinga Channel.
One of the pathways through the Kibale Forest, where I searched for chimpanzees.A young chimpanzee in the treetops, munching on the tiny fruits that were in abundance on that particular tree variety. Photographing the chimpanzees was even more challenging than the gorillas, and I came away with only a few shots I could use, but memories that will last a lifetime.A rather sizeable monitor lizard, steps from my tent door at the Ishasha Wilderness Camp. When I showed this photo to others in my group at lunch, one woman commented she was very glad it had not been outside her tent.A beautiful vista while heading into the Bwindi region. Terraced fields growing tea, coffee, bananas and an assortment of other fruits and vegetables.A L’hoests monkey seen from the deck at Buhoma Lodge in Bwindi. These monkeys were plentiful in the village, and gorged themselves on the avocados growing on the property.My first day in Bwindi, I took a village tour and we took a walk into the hills to visit a Batwa village (a pygmy community). I snapped this shot of the community fields below and plots up the opposite hillside… but mostly I think I was stopped to catch my breath as the walk was very steep and our guide kept a fairly vigorous pace!And last, but certainly not least, a gorilla sleeping amongst the leaves, in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
The WordPress prompt for the week is Atop – photographs showing a vantage point of being above the subject. I hope you enjoy my selection of images from my travels.
The expanse of the Amboseli National Park, and a dust-devil in the distance. Viewed from the Amboseli lookout point.Another view from the Amboseli lookout. Coming in to land at the airstrip in Selenkay.A view of a Maasai village from the air; somewhere on route to Porini’s Mara camp.Above the clouds.Near the Ishasha Wilderness Camp, we found a lovely spot perched over the river valley, the perfect place to watch the sunrise.From our perch in Ishasha, not only did we watch the sunrise, but we also watched some hyena hassle a group of crowned cranes.Another day, and the start of another lovely sunrise in Ishasha.
