Frequently Asked Questions
Where? When? Who?
These photos were taken on safari in two national parks in eastern
Kenya - Tsavo East and Tsavo West.
The exception is the photo of the golden palm weaver,
which was taken in the grounds of the Voyager Resort Hotel at Nyali Beach,
north of Mombasa.
The 4-day safari began on 7th April 2004 - at the start of the rainy season -
and took the following route:
- Day 1: Nyali Beach to Voi Safari Lodge (Tsavo East)
- Day 2: Voi Safari Lodge to Ngulia Safari Lodge (Tsavo West)
- Day 3: Ngulia Safari Lodge to Kilaguni Lodge and Mzima Springs (Tsavo West)
- Day 4: Kilaguni Lodge to Nyali Beach
Special greetings to Alan and Mary, to Tony and Wendy "Hawkeye" West, and everyone
else on the Kuoni buses!
What Camera?
The photos were taken using a
- Canon EOS 50E 35mm SLR camera body (non-digital)
- Animal and bird photos: Sigma APO 70-210mm F/2.8 telezoom lens
with Hoya UV[0] filter
- Landscape photos: Canon EF 20-35mm F/3.5-4.5 wide-angle zoom lens
with Hoya circular polariser (but not the Marabou
storks in Baobab Tree photo, which was taken with the telezoom)
- Fujicolor Superia ASA 400 colour print film
I didn't have my tripod with me, so relied on fast shutter speeds and fast films
when taking the photos with the telezoom. All the films were developed and transfered
onto photo-CD by Jessops, New Oxford Street, London, UK.
