Africa Book Available—Support it with a Vote in PBN Contest

Click to preview bookWe’re very pleased with the way our Africa book--compiled over several years of leading safaris--has turned out. Early copies are off the press and as usual blurb.com has done a great job with the printing. The book has been nominated for their Reader’s Choice award so we hope you’ll take the time to check out the Preview (online and free) and vote for it if you like it. You can see it and vote for it online….

One warning though. The eighty pages of stunning photography from our trips to Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe may make you really jealous. So of course we’d love to have you join us on our next Botswana safari in May, 2011 if you can make it. We guarantee you’ll get some awesome photos and make a book like this one of your very own!

DPS 7--05: Texas Trip Report & New Trip Announcements, Lensbaby Composer, Cool Drive Dock, Photo News

Welcome to DPS 7-05. We recently returned from our 4th spring visit to South Texas after a great safari week with some very happy participants who got the bird photo opportunities they were hoping for and more. As always we enjoyed the hospitality of some of the premier private photo locations in the Southwest, including the hot new property Campos Viejos--1st place winner in this year's Lens and Land photo contest!

Pro Tip: Do a Trial Run

I'm just back from a really fun pre-safari session with a local family about to head off to Africa for a wildlife and adventure safari. They knew they wanted to make the most of their photo opportunities but weren't sure they had the right equipment and were sure that they could use some help making the most of what they had.

The future Safari Lens?

For years we've been struggling to recommend the perfect lens for our photo safari participants. Nikon's 80-400 is sharp but slow and old and Canon's 100-400 is unpopular due to its push-pull operation and many samples are quite soft at the long end. It's not a speed daemon either. But after handling a Sigma 120-400 at PMA I'm hoping we've found an alternative that will work for everyone. I'm getting one next week and will be shooting with it and letting participants shoot with it in Texas & Alaska so I'll be able to report back with a full field-test.
