[Leica] Kenyan Safari Samburu Lions

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Hello Luggers,
As Alastair has already posted we have been on a two week safari in  
Kenya and are just now getting home to Hong Kong after post Safari  
stops in London and Rome.
Esther and I took 10,000 pictures in Kenya between us and now the task  
to sift these down to a precious few will take some time.
Here is a start. On the first day we flew from Wilson airport in  
Nairobi to Samburu and in the afternoon saw our first lion. He was  
lazy. This fellow was unusual - male but without a mane.
Here's Esther's take:

My photo is a 3 panel pano taken with the GH2 and the 100 - 300  
stitched together with CS4
The original is 31.7 MB and would produce a 11" X 29" print at 300 ppi.

The equipment used by the group divided into Panasonics (Henning,  
Tanya, Esther and me) Nikons (everyone else except Helen and her  
trusty Olympus E3 - although sometimes she was using Alastair's D7000).

C&C always welcome - please look large.

Cheers

Howard
