Tanzania Mania – a prelude

25 Jun

So, from Monday to Wednesday, I was kinda all over Tanzania. Route was Entebbe to Nairobi to Dar es Salaam to Mwanza to Bukoba to Mutukula and back to our lovely country.

I took thousands of pics. Yeah. Thousands. That’s how I get when I lay my hands on a camera. This time I was privileged to travel with a Nikon D80. Awesome machine. It was my second proper exposure to the finer workings of a DSLR, over three days. My first exposure was just a few hours, in which I was too scared to mess up the person’s settings.

But, let me not bore you. I have a few teaser pics. I have tweaked in a little Photoshop magic. I can’t release the rest till the project is complete, which will be next week, so a little patience, toute le monde, s’il vous plait.

Without further ado…

This view is just awesome!

Mount Kilimanjaro. 'nuff said.

This is a beautiful island.

      Global warming is a sad reality my friend. And thank you, but I vehemently refuse to be called a Ssenga!
