This is a stitched panoramic created with 9 images taken on an early morning game drive in the Okavango Delta. The landscape and sky were absolutely perfect for trying to capture a panoramic image, and the sleepy lioness at the base of the termite mound was just an amazing extra.
I remember this morning well not only for the beautiful sighting and amazing morning sky, but also for working through camera malfunctions while driving along a dusty and bumpy path. Thankfully, I got things sorted well enough by the time we stopped here to be able to capture lots of images, and then sort out a more proper fix once out of the vehicle.
I may have explained it previously, but I shoot with Fuji cameras and was having an F0 appear on my camera (basically, the camera didn’t think there was a lens attached). It turned out that my 300mm zoom lens had been on that body so long and used so much it had loosened some of the screws inside of the camera where the lens connects, causing the error. I didn’t find that out until I returned to camp and could get online, but my temporary fix was to swap my zoom lens to my other body, as my lighter weight lens didn’t return the same error codes. One of the people on my tour had a small screwdriver and I was able to fix my problem with ease (thanks again, Richard).
