Description

I was caught in this dust storm in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park just before sunset one day - once again doing a game drive on my own. I must admit, it was quite daunting but it was a wonderful photography opportunity.

BTW On your own is great because there is no one to say "let's go now" or "I have had enough" etc

Ron - you are quite right - that is why I'm looking at buying a 4X4 vehicle. I only need one of the "lighter" cross-over 4X4's - so I can go completely on my own for three weeks without having to worry or report to anyone else! :)

Great shot but not something you want to be caught in the open with.

A great catch and lovely pinkish color. Much prettier than the one I saw in Monument Valley. Still, I don't think the animals liked it very much. I did not know you could go off on your own in these parks. Worth looking into.

A first class shot Carin and really made by the two animals. You were very brave to go out there and face all the elements.

Argh! I would never dare riding to such places on my own. Hope you can keep in touch with the family by cellphone or something. A wonderful photo indeed.

I would worry a bit going out all alone; but then I don't know my way around there, do I? I'm sure you know what you're doing. And what a stunning capture you got!

Great capture Carin. I still have my 500mm lens and haven't used it yet. Your dust storms look like our dust storms. The thing around here is, don't get caught driving on the road. It usually results in massive accidents, often with multiple casualties.
