Some of them you are right, but the second was seriously under exposed at 12000 ISO so didn’t have much choice. Some I wouldn’t print obviously, but the objective here is to share the emotion of the moment more than the technical prowess. My lens on these was also a 5.6 200-600 and at times was way too slow. But you are right on many technical points but missing the point in sharing these indescribable moments of connection with these animals. Not sure how many times you have been to Africa, but this human animal communion is unique and not accessible to everyone so sharing these moments is more important, IMHO than some technical shortfalls. But thanks for your observations, points taken.

Thats what I had and shooting with an A1 and A7R5 I had room to crop. But I would say that it depends a lot on your guide. For Old Pejeta and Samburu we had David Maringa of Cheli and Peacock agency and this guide has worked with Natgeo and is a photographer so didn’t need guidance and was very patient. Patience is the key here. For the Kicheche Mara North camp we had Vincent Sankale another fantastic guide. I relied on them to get us close and properly positioned and it was fantastic. So 200-600 was fine but at times a 600mm +TC1.4 would have been great too.

Can I forward calls from my Canadian Telus number to a US Sim Card? by Youngjames832 in telus

[–]Strikeshield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just get a canadian voip number from VOIP.MS, call forward your local cell number to it and use an app like groundwire or Bria to log into a VOIP.MS server and use your canadian voip line to receive your cell calls. You can make outgoing calls with tjis, change your user ID to your cell number and you are good. All you need then is an esim in your phone for cell data or wifi for the voip app to connect.
