Kenya, Africa - Misc Species


As mentioned, photographing in Kenya was so exciting. I was floored with the diversity of species within the Masai Mara and just how habituated they were to safari vehicles. Included are some of the additional species photographed during the trip, besides the cats in the prior post. The featured image was one of my favorite Giraffe shots. The mountain in the background is Mount Kenya, the tallest mountain in the country. My goal was to frame the Giraffe's head with the similar profile of the mountain.

We were fortunate to see both White and Black Rhinos. Below is a White Rhinoceros.

Ken, Your photos are amazing. I came across your gallery on Smug Mug and got a lump in my throat when I saw the eagles. Amazing. I love nature and wildlife photography, but am new to photography in general getting a new DSLR last June. I am improving, but have sooo much to learn. I imagine I can learn a lot by visitng here. Thanks for sharing your talent!

P.S. I don't see the gadget on your blog that allows people to follow your blog. Have you thought about adding it?
