One thing that I do every workshop is create a short video that tries to give a feel for what the trip was like, as well as who was on it. Sometimes I do more than one video, but with just me teaching and such a short, intense camp-to-camp schedule, I only had time to make a combined video this trip. As Apple would say, I'd like to show it to you:
Answers to the questions you have after watching the above:
- Yes, we really do drive the Land Cruisers through water (we have to at times).
- Yes, those are the planes we use (MackAir Cessna Caravans). Yes, you have to go through security (at least in Maun).
- Yes, even though it's the driest time of the year, you can see that the Okavango still has a lot of water in it.
- Yes, we really do carry maps and give lectures along the way. (I also carry a projector and screen, not shown.)
- No, the portraits were not done with a Plena (many were Nikon 70-180mm f/2.8).
- Yes, we always have more crew members than students. Your tent has an assigned steward who'll even keep it clean.
- Yes, we really do have a full time chef in the bush (and she's really, really good).
- Yes, all these images were taken by me on this trip, despite the fact that I was spending time teaching almost constantly.
- This presentation is made in Fotomagico on my MacBook Pro 14" as I travel, getting a little longer each night ;~). The actual presentation is in 4K, but through the wonders of Internet sharing, you'll likely only see it in FullHD.
No students were harmed in the making of this presentation. That I know of.
