Back from Africa!!

[mjs1973]

Hey everyone. Amy and I made it home last night from our trip to South Africa. It took us 44 hours to get home, from the time we woke up to go to the airport, till the time we got home. We took a shower, and went straight to bed after getting home.

I'm still pretty tired, but managed to give my photos from the trip a once over. Looks like I will have a lot of processing to do in the next couple of weeks. Here is one shot I managed to process for this post. This was taken from a blind at the Tembe Elephant Park. I could have sat in this blind all day! They have a web cam on this watering hole that you can watch at www.zulucam.com. Don't forget the time difference. They are 7 hours ahead of us in the central time zone.

The trip was great, and I wouldn't hesitate to go back if given the chance. The only down side of the trip for me was that it seemed like we were always out at the worst time of day to be taking photos, and the harsh lighting made for some difficult shooting. Not to mention that it's almost impossible to get everyone to sit still in the back of an open top truck! Other than that, it was a great trip, and I still managed to come home with some pics I'm pretty happy with, despite the challenging conditions.

Look for more to come later on.
