Re: PESO: A splodge of Hippos
I can't see why not! The light is harsh here most of the time. Better on rainy days which, hopefully, are just around the corner. Nice to see your posts again Ann (on g-mail that is). I still don't know why they are not reaching @lantic, Jack's & mine neither.

as they are separated by a bit of water, might one call them two splodges? :-) interesting and sad.. it's abit too light an exposure for my taste, but that does emphasise the terrible draught ann On 10/14/2018 6:05 AM, Alan Cole wrote: Hippos sunbathing below Olifants Camp.

Re: PESO: A splodge of Hippos (Mike W)
Mike I zoomed to 100% & scanned the whole image - no crocs. That rock you mentioned has a sort of croc shape. In the wider view, there are a lot more Hippos in the water , another pair of Gypsies at the top. There are also a lot of oxpeckers on the Hippos Alan c On 14-Oct-18 12:17 PM, mike wilson wrote: On 14 October 2018 at 11:05 Alan Cole wrote: Hippos sunbathing below Olifants Camp.

PESO: A splodge of Hippos
Hippos sunbathing below Olifants Camp. Range about 200m, cropped. These are some of the survivors. Hippo mortality has been high after 3 drought years. There is precious little for them to eat. A couple of Egyptian Geese in there too. No crocs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/45260654172/ K5 & the Sigma 170-500 & 170mm -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
