Heading into Camp by Sherry Icardi

About the Image(s)

We were heading into camp after a productive day of shooting animals (with a camera of course) and the beauty of the landscape made me want to capture the sky we saw that night. So I asked the Guide to stop so that I could get our other jeep in the shot and used the road as a leading line. I don't think I have ever appreciated the beauty of the sky until I saw it without the pollution we get here in the states. This was taken in the Maasai Mara during my last trip to Africa.

Taken at 24mm with my D850 and 24-120 mm lens.
1/500sec
F/11
ISO 320

Post Pricessing was mainly bringing up the shadows and reducing the noise.

I love the muted pastel colors. Very seren and peaceful. The road and the vehicle make me wonder what is around the bend. The light, swirling clouds add some interest as well as the muted sunset colors on the horizen. Nice photo.   Posted: 10/10/2021 18:02:35

A great image Sherry, and I'm sure a great memory for you. Your construction of this image and use of the elements is first rate, congratulations. The greens, browns and blues are excellent and yes that sky is just right, not too much cloud and not too little. Great depth as well.   Posted: 10/18/2021 06:08:44

Beautiful colors. I like the tone and the colors of the picture. The sky is also beautiful, and the tress are not to dark. The composition is also very good. Well done.   Posted: 10/20/2021 13:32:13

I enjoy the perspective, clouds are great and nice leading line. Maybe not some much of the road as the horizon line almost is centered. Maybe go back and jump out of your jeep, elude the lions and take the same photo all over again - ha ha. Again I like the perspective and expanse - nice to get a wilderness shot without cities and smog.   Posted: 10/27/2021 12:53:33



 
Sherry, I really like this shot the sky is so beautiful. Love how the road leads right into the shot. Too bad the tire covers first make you wonder what the jeep is. The mountains plateau really stands out. Its a beautiful shot with great memories.   Posted: 10/27/2021 19:20:53
