Alan - I wrote my follow up to Ken's comments before seeing this.. so
you do have a physical problem keeping you from what you want to shoot
at the best times

Yes Ken, you are right. The problem is being in the right place during
those hours. The big rivers are over 50km from the Phalaborwa Gate so
we would have to be staying in a camp to get there at those times.
Entrance gates open somewhere around sunrise, camp gates an hour
earlier. All close about sunset. Big fines if you are late. We often
used to stay over years ago when accommodation was still affordable.
Travelogue it must be, I'm afraid.

I doubt filters would produce the effect of better light.
Better light occurs around sunrise and sun set. Showing up around
those times would certainly improve the possibility of shooting under
better light.
I’ve gotten up way before sunrise to travel to spots waiting for
sunrise in the hope that conditions would allow shooting in the
better light. YMMV

Ken, you commented on that before. I know it, but unfortunately that's
what we get most of the day (rather harsh). Perhaps the use of filters
could help. Anyone?

We went for a jaunt into Kruger yesterday to check the state of the
rivers after the recent heavy rains. An overcast but hot day.
Lunch on
the Terrace at Olifants camp with several Eagles effortlessly
soaring up
& down on the slope wind. Jack Davis would have loved it! Scroll R

The Letaba River in flood.
A temporary rock pool. Very inviting for a quick dip!

An Ostrich family with 7 chicks. An unusual sighting in Kruger.
A handsome male Grey Heron. Not quite as spectacular as your Great
Blues.
All with the K5 & HD 55-300.
