I took one camera with me to Namibia just to take some black & white photos.

Here is Sarge, one of my hunting buddies, doing his best Teddy Roosevelt impression.



The termite mound.



My kudu.



My zebra.



The view from our hut.



My hunt report is in the hunt report forum.

Good Hunting,

Bob

There's a certain sense of "Class" to black and white photography that isn't equalled even by the best color shots.

Nice work

Great photos BOB.As you know, my little brother is at Makalaan right now.He is taking some nice animals, a very good kudu I am told.He often shoots some black and white, and after seeing your photos I hope he will do it on this trip.


We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

Thanks y'all!

eyedoc,

I got an e-mail from Antonie and he said the hunt is going very well. Your feedback and help is one of the reasons I hunted with Makalaan. It was a great decision.

Thanks,

Bob

I'm with Paladin. Those B&W's show a lot of class.

Nice going, Bob.

Try using a sepia effect on them.





It give photos a bit of the 'Selous' effect. Smiler

Hey George,

I just learned how to do the sepia effect...and how to change color to black & white. I am going to make the jump into this century and go digital. Next time, I won't have to take two cameras. When is the "Greek Posse" going to come out/down to Texas again for a hunt??

Bob,

After the last fiasco, I don't think you'll be seeing the 'Greek posse' down there anytime soon. Frowner

The zebra is extra nice in B & W!


If you can't smell his breath, your're not close enough!

On my Safari to RSA I took a Digital and a SLR shooting Film. I think it was one of the best decisions I made. I have the photo album from the print pictures. And then I have Digitals to e-mail to people. If one camera gets broken also, You have a back up. Printing out Digital Pictures might work for you, but Film still has better quality when printed. Just something to consider.
