I wanted to see the Delta from air, particularly to see the buffalo fence which forms the critical infrastructure component of Botswana's biosecurity measures to keep the buffalo, which carry foot-and-mouth disease, away from domestic cattle, which are very susceptible to this serious disease which has massive trade implications. The Delta from the air is incredible: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/Africa+2009/Botswana/img413a.jpg.html I took a photo of our shadow as we landed at Maun airport: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/freakscene/Africa+2009/Botswana/img902a.jpg.html The next day we left for Zimbabwe. First two are M7, f1 Noctilux and TMZ at EI 6400 and 1000, developed in home made TMax developer substitute. Second two are MP, Hexanon 50/2, yellow filter, Plus-X in Xtol 1+3. Comments etc welcome.
