Are they all from Todd Gustafson or are they from the group as a whole? I would be interested to find out some of the technical details, for example the excellent use of fill-in-flash, but not here on the Africa group. I would guess the fish eagles might have been baited: were all the others shot "wild"? I hope no photographers were distressed in the taking of the rhino close up! :-) When you get the time, a trip report would be very welcome. -- John Macdonald |

Some amazing images! Are they all from Todd Gustafson or are they from the group as a whole? All from just Todd, on just this one trip ... he's a pretty productive guy. I would be interested to find out some of the technical details, for example the excellent use of fill-in-flash All I know for sure is he is primarily a long-time Nikon user who has partially switched to Canon for the benefits of the tele-photo Image Stabilized lenses... specifically he uses mostly a Canon 600 f/4 L IS with a Canon digital body and also a Nikon digital with the excellent 200-400 f/4 lens. As for the fill flash, he told me it's optional to bring it but what he uses is a Better Beamer to concentrate the light with an off-flash bracket on a Wimberly pivot head to avoid red-eye. Basically you'd just expose normally for the ambient light and set the flash to somewhere between -2 and -1.3 for a touch of fill with the Canon, not sure of the exact numbers with the Nikons. Easy to check the effect with digital and modify on the fly. When you get the time, a trip report would be very welcome I wasn't on that trip, I'll be joining Todd and Art and 9 others for 20 days in Tanzania in January, to pretty much the same spots covered in your post a few weeks back except 5 days at Ndutu.

We enjoyed lots of great photography from the large boats and the drivers were exceptionally skilled. The highlights of the boat trip were the African Fishing Eagles. The boat drivers have them trained to respond to their whistles and a tossed fish with a bit of balsa wood sewn into their bellies." Bill |
