A moody sunset on the banks of the Chobe river in the Caprivi strip in Namibia (bordering Botswana across the water).
The light and leading lines led me to shoot this with a view of a monochrome capture (the sunset wasn't doing much in terms of colour).
I am really excited about this Wild Eye photographic safari. There is a scheduled departure almost every 2 months, and we have exclusive use of the luxury houseboat from Ichobezi River Lodges that can moor deep into the Chobe along the Namibian side, ensuring solitude at night and that we can be alone at key points in good light when others are still moored in Kasane at dawn or when they have to be out of the park's waters at dusk. :Whoa!:
Techs:
Nikon D800 with Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 @ 14mm
f16 @ ISO-100
Blend of 3 exposures for dynamic range
Conversion done in CS5 using manual sliders
