Okawango Delta Safari – Wildlife Photography

_DSC3160.NEF

I’m heading to Botswana tomorrow for my first Botswana Photo Safari with a very small group of clients. I’m very excited about it as it will be my first time in those regions which are considered the last untouched wonder of nature on earth. This time I will set myself the goal of focusing on elephants and water as a focus for my own work I would like to bring home. This time I promised myself not to bring my professional video equipment with me, in order to fully concentrate on photography and mentoring! I will carry the minimum indispensable equipment and bring along my two Nikon bodies D3 and D300s. I don’t really like the D300s for filming as I find it extremely limited compared to the way I am used to with professional video equipment. You would need to buy loads of stuff to make it easier working. I really wonder what Nikon developers had in mind when limiting the frame rate to 24p only… Canon developers (please forgive me I have to say this) have solved this much better offering more video features in 1080p and different frame rates…
