African Road Trip

[Fanie]

July 2013 I did a round trip through Botswana, Zimbabwe's Hwange NP, Victoria falls and back through Botswana's Makgadigadi Pans and Kubu Island.

The baobab trees are so overwhelmingly cute (can you apply that notion to a tree?). The delicate colours add to the overall impression too.

A great series! Victoria falls from above is interesting, it looks like there is a huge crack in the earth's crust.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I do however battle with the processing of the second photo, and are not happy as it is done. It was taken into the sun with my D300, and every way I process it it has that HDR type look.

Anyone that would care to have a try at it? I have a RAW file for it.

What a trip! I quite like the Victoria falls shot.

Great series. I really love the trees, they are my favourites - especially the last one. But I also happen to really like the second pic btw.

Here is one with some star trials over the Boabab trees, as well as an aerial photograph of the island.

I like what you did to the sky, the grass etc was a touch warmer on the day.
