Hippopotamus: Kazinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — I have lots of photos of hippos taken from the boats on the the Nile and the Kazinga Channel, but this is one of the few I have taken while on foot. We had stopped by the channel for a break, mid game drive, and there was a whole school of hippos off-shore. Sony Rx10iv at 469mm (close!). Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/800th.
Pied KIngfishers: Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Where we stopped my the Kazinga Channel on our morning game drive in the northern sector of Queen Elizabeth National Park, there were a lot…a lot of a lot…of Pied Kingfishers. Bushes of Pied Kingfishers. These are just two posing nicely. Of course the Pied Kingfisher is by far the most common kingfisher in Uganda and probably all of Africa. They are pretty much literally anywhere there is water big enough to have fish in it. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
