I'm just back from another wonderful photo safari to southern Africa, this time Zambia and Botswana and wanted to share some of my favorite images with you.
We'll be returning in May, 2011 and hope you can join us!--David
Welcome to DPS 7-05. We recently returned from our 4th spring visit to South Texas after a great safari week with some very happy participants who got the bird photo opportunities they were hoping for and more. As always we enjoyed the hospitality of some of the premier private photo locations in the Southwest, including the hot new property Campos Viejos--1st place winner in this year's Lens and Land photo contest!

I'm just back from a really fun pre-safari session with a local family about to head off to Africa for a wildlife and adventure safari. They knew they wanted to make the most of their photo opportunities but weren't sure they had the right equipment and were sure that they could use some help making the most of what they had.

For years we've been struggling to recommend the perfect lens for our photo safari participants. Nikon's 80-400 is sharp but slow and old and Canon's 100-400 is unpopular due to its push-pull operation and many samples are quite soft at the long end. It's not a speed daemon either. But after handling a Sigma 120-400 at PMA I'm hoping we've found an alternative that will work for everyone. I'm getting one next week and will be shooting with it and letting participants shoot with it in Texas & Alaska so I'll be able to report back with a full field-test.
We're considering offering a photo safari to Death Valley in March, 2009. If you're interested in visiting and photographing this one of a kind destination with us please email us at safaris [at] cardinalphoto.com Read more »
