This is again what people go to Mana Pools for, the unique light. It was very dusty and a fair amount of red dirt. But then sometimes like the hippo, which was early morning it was more blue which is also the iconic light of Mana Pools.

I also struggle with the GPS unit that is on the large elephants heads. Do I remove it or not? I did in the 6th photo.

I totally enjoyed the trip, but still feel I have sooo many of the same sort of thing, yet I like each!

Yet another set beyond wonderful ! I would probably have technical issues with removing the GPS units, but absolutely no other concerns about removing them. They are for the Elephants protection, so I would certainly have a few showing on lesser shots. Can't imagine how many photos I would have got, or that you have. I would certainly keep them all, carefully backed up. That said, I would also put together a big freestanding collection, in my case on a CD or SDHC, and over some period of time, ruthlessly cull it to be the best of the best. As I would always have everything, I would have lost nothing, but created a "gem"! So appreciate your generosity in sharing your experience.

Beth, all that work you did in the workshop with the horses and dust put you in a position to provide this wonderful set. Thanks for your hard work and sharing its results.

These are wonderful. They may almost all be of elephants, but they are each a gem.

I've really enjoyed your whole series! Some of the most beautiful, evocative safari photos I've seen here. I try hard to be firm with myself about keeping only the best of my own photos, but if I was able to make a trip like yours, I'm afraid I'd keep them all!

I took the workshop because of this trip and for migration in Kenya which will also have a lot of dust! It did help, but I’m still learning! The atmospheric conditions combined with low light had me frustrated with the sharpness. Then I came to realize, that is just the way it is!

I have deleted a lot! Then I see a different composition and think, well I like this too! Glad you are not tired of elephant photos. I still have more to come!
