Hello! I am planning a 2025 African Safari. I am interested in large game (lions, gorilla's, elephants, etc. It is a bucket list vacation.

I just purchased the OM Solutions 150-600mm lens (300-1200mm 35mm equivalent), but is is not weather sealed. I have web pages that detail, by month, the overall weather for each month.

It appears that it is BEST to go when it is dry and dusty for that is when large game gather around shrinking waterholes.

If I do go then, what type of precautions should I take to protect the lens from dust? Has anybody been on an African safari who can tell me anything that they learned? Is the lens only good for borders, for which I don't have the skill set.

Anything I forgot to ask that I should know? Many thanks in advance! Linda

I like mizzee went to Tanzania and witnessed the Wildebeest crossing the Mara, amazing. Take two camera bodies and two lenses, one on each of the cameras. One for telephoto and one for wider shots, perhaps a 24-105 (48-205 35mm equiv.). We were told to take a hand towel to cover the cameras when not in use to avoid as much dust as possible. Take several lens cloths and keep a clean one in your pocket. If you have a rocket blower and wear a vest you may be able to use that as well. I found the dust manageable with precautions. We also took an empty bean bag and our guides purchased beans to fill them and collected them at the end of our tour to take home to eat. Overall enjoy and do not lose sleep over a dusty camera/lens. Hoping this helps. Gary

I just went to the Steely Dan Eagles Long Farwell Concert. Only cell phones were allowed from what I saw and no flash or video. The only DSLR, was a professional photographer. Gary

I just found out today that I will be going to the path of totality for the upcoming eclipse. In case it isn't snowing or raining that day, I was thinking of getting a longer prime for my Canon EF-S APS-C body anyway, so this will be a good excuse. The longest I have now is the 55 - 255 kit lens. I think I've got the filter business figured out, but what focal lengths have worked well with APS-C machines for sun photography?


Here is what I used for the Annular Eclipse last year. Gary https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-780405-1.html

Ken,

Sorry I did not see the earlier post.

Check out the Great Florida Birding Trail. https://floridabirdingtrail.com/

Click on the trip planning tab and then select east and then south. This will give you all the locations in Florida. Click on the green dots and a window pops up with information with each site. Good luck. Gary

---dear admin: i do not think I'm breaking any rules but please feel free to delete this if it's not the place.----

My company produces two calendars a year. One is called "Scenics of America"

https://www.minespress.com/shop/scenics-of-america-wall-calendar-1541#attr=
The link brings your to the calendar for sample photos - of the look we use.

We have been using stock photos for a while now. However, those images are getting old and I was wondering if you would be interested in submitting your best landscape photos.

Typically, we use one photo per state, and the month's photo usually reflects the season (December = winter)

We will offer a modest monetary reimbursement along with full photo credit on the page and indexing in the back of the catalog. We may even be able to print your website or contact info, but I'm still waiting for approval on that.

I have a much larger file should your company choose this ne for your project. Thank you, Gary

The calendar image size is 11" x 8" Please have high-res or raw file version for production

You can either post your landscape in a reply, and I can message you, or you can message me with your image.
I think it could be fun if posted here as feedback is appreciated.

If I should post this in a different place of the forum please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

While out in the Monument Valley area, we decided to do a night shot at Forest Gump Point. I am attaching a picture I found on the web as a reference from the movie.

Our sunset shoot.
