Uganda Edition: Defassa Waterbuck
Defassa Waterbuck: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Male and female Waterbuck. The male was from our early morning walking safari and the female was on the way to our lodge when we had first arrived in the Park. Magnificent animals! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm (male) and 143mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. Male: ISO 1250 @ f4 @ 1/500th, Female: ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/320th.
Snowy-bellied Hummingbird
Snowy-bellied Hummingbird: Las Cruces Biological Research Station, San Vito, Costa Rica, December 2022 — I posted another image from this same encounter back in December when I actually saw the bird, but it deserves another as I work my way through my shots from Costa Rica. Not an easy bird to see and we missed it on our first attempt, so I was out at first light to try again on the morning we left Las Cruces for the mountains. The light was challenging, to say the least, but the bird came in just as I reached my time limit and had to head back for breakfast and departure. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 800 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
