All the images are filed, backed up and finished and I find myself constantly going back and looking at them to see if, the trip really did happen and if I really did take the photos. This is a pair of White-fronted Bee-eaters. Greg did a marvelous driving the landie right up to them and with a couple of tweaks, I had the perfect background. Not only were the birds really cool, but the light and more importantly, its direction perfect to light up them colors. Just look at them backs light up! Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! And the fact they were in love didn&#8217;t hurt a thing, they were quite animated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DABBEWE0293.jpg?quality=100\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DABBEWE0293.jpg?resize=432%2C650&#038;quality=100\" alt=\"DABBEWE0293\" width=\"432\" height=\"650\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DABBEWE0293.jpg?w=432&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 432w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/DABBEWE0293.jpg?resize=388%2C585&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 388w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shooting with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1024081-REG\/nikon_d4s_digital_slr_camera.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NID4S\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNID4S\" target=\"_blank\">D4s<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/918849-REG\/nikon_2205_af_s_nikkor_800mm_f_5_6e.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI80056\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI80056\" target=\"_blank\">800mm<\/a> (with the converter) I still used HSC to make the shot. The HSC helped also with the FPS, increasing it so I could capture the small, quick gestures of love the two displayed. If they were on any other perch, bigger in diameter or deeper in the tree, the photo wouldn&#8217;t have worked and there were times, they used other perches while foraging. It was this moment that lasted perhaps, 2-3 minutes though which stand out in my memory. I&#8217;m just so thankful that the moments aren&#8217;t committed to just memory. So glad the camera captured the moment to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The effects of going to Africa are still very much resonating in my heart even a month later.
