It&rsquo;s far in the tropical North of the park. The waterhole you can watch from inside the camp is full of amazing visitors. Without having to be worried about gate-closing times, you can also catch them in the best evening light.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-12-25-eland-are-pretty-spectacular-the/ Fri, 25 Dec 2020 12:02:38 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-12-25-eland-are-pretty-spectacular-the/ <p>Eland are pretty spectacular. The second-largest antelope (after the Giant Eland of West Africa). They&rsquo;re recovering their numbers in South Africa after being nearly wiped out through hunting by the end of the 19th century.</p> <p>Gotta say, I found the operation and layout of my Fuji XE1 much more understandable from the get-go than the Nikon Z50. It&rsquo;s really great for us olds who grew up on film gear that Fujifilm makes cameras that use film-camera control layouts as a starting point. Very lucky.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-12-25-i-also-brought-my-little/ Fri, 25 Dec 2020 11:56:36 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-12-25-i-also-brought-my-little/ <p>I also brought my little Fuji XE1. We arrived at the park pretty late and got to see the Karoo turn gold in the evening light. Course with the Fuji there&rsquo;s no autofocus and no image stabilisation. So I felt I was pretty lucky to get anything close to sharp pics as these were all handheld grab shots.</p>
