“Are there birds on safari” the email read. Oh Hell YA!!! Birds are here in every size, color and manor and most, blow your mind! Now if that’s the case, why am I posting a photo of the White-backed Vulture? Well, I can’t think of a better bird to represent Africa. It’s the clean up crew for nearly every party there is here, party thrown by lions, Leopards and Wild Dogs that is. This shot from this mornings drive though I think paints them in a better light. Shot from inside the Landi, the D4s<\/a> \/ 800f5.6 AFS<\/a><\/a> with TC attached is perched on the Gitzo 5561SGT<\/a> which is acting as a monopod. I have my Arca Swiss B2 and with that combo, I’m able to work the big glass from the Landi and get the shot. The tripod for the most part leans against my leg as I stablize the whole rig from movement inside the vehicle. Our amazing ranger Roan then drives forward or back, left or right small inches to help fine tune the shot. There are lots of birds in Africa, photographed about 30 species so far but this iconic one was on my list to get! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
