    Congratulations Hilary Hann for your image "Ewaso Nyiro" being chosen as the Landscape Image of the Week for the week ending 2/11/2011!!!

    This is an aerial shot of the Ewaso Nyiro river in Northern Kenya which looked interesting when I first saw it. Last March it flooded and washed away many safari lodges in Samburu, this year it looks like drying up completely. I like the way the sand bank curved around the river and the glint on the shallow water in the river but it was taken through the aircraft window so am interested in opinions as to whether it works or not.
    I kept the ISO high to enable a high ss. I used to shoot aerials from small planes with the doors taken off, so much better than this shooting through glass.

    Thanks Peter and Grant.

    Grant, sometimes it is a good thing trying to find unusual images but it doesn't always reap dividends! But it is an interesting learning experience so I keep at it.
