You must not have paid close attention in elementary school geography. The southernmost country on the North American continent is a little country called Panama, you may have heard of it. If Belize is not on the North American continent, where is it? The North American continent consists of Canada, Greenland, which is part of a European country, The USA, excluding the parts in the south Pacific, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahama, and a whole bunch of island nation's in the Caribbean.
Yes, there is a Central America, but it is NOT a separate continent, it is part of the North American continent. I never mentioned anything about the South American continent so I'm not sure why you have mentioned it. To answer your question, no, there most indeed is a South America, and it's a continent, unlike central America, which is not.

Speaking of nit picking, you're pointing out minor spelling errors on UHH?! You don't know what countries are part of the continent of North America but you jump on the plural spelling of safari?! Maybe you need to take heed of your own advice.

You also obviously missed the point. People always say, African safari, but Africa is a continent not a country. When asking for information it may be more helpful if the actual country the safari is taking place in is mentioned because each country is different.

I've often wondered what people are thinking when they say African safari tour. They apparently don't realize how big and diverse the continent of Africa really is. There are 54 countries in Africa, 54 of them. Heck, there's only 23 countries in North America and 80% of the area is only 3 of those 23 countries. Of the 54 countries in Africa, 11 of them are well known for safaries. 11 is definitely a lot less than 54 but it's still 11 separate countries. I doubt if many safaries cover ground in more than 1 country or at the most 2. Botswana, Kenya and South Africa are probably the three most popular safari countries but I have no way of knowing where you are going on safari because you didn't mention a country, you named a whole continent.
To get my point across, it's like saying, I'm going on a photography expidition in North America, please recommend a few good spots for photographs. What I didn't mention is, the expidition is in the country of Belize.
My point is, knowing the continent may not be very helpful at all; knowing which country is!

I am new to this forum and fairly new to photography, but finally have the time to learn and enjoy photography and maybe sell some prints. I always wonder and marvel at the beauty of the images on this forum, but I am curious. Why do photographers need to edit or manipulate images to look so much more colorful and sometimes almost unworldly? Well, not sure what words to use. Hopefully you understand what I am trying to say. I realize the need to crop or correct under exposure or other flaws, but should we manipulate the image to look far superior to what we actually see through the viewfinder? For instance, like most people, I love seeing stunning magazine images of the Grand Canyon, but they always look more vividly colored and have more contrasts and shadows verses what the canyon looks like to the naked eye. I’m just curious as to how other photographers feel about this. Please go easy on this newbie if this is not a proper topic for here.
