Description

A dramatic moment I experienced back in 1990 while being at the Masai Mara National Park in Kenia. On our way back to our camp a thunderstrom aproached and the afternoon light iluminated a lonely acacia tree giving the scene an unreal mood…

Technical Details

Contax RTS III, Zeiss Vario Sonnar 4 / 80 - 200, Kodochrome 64

Scanned with Nikon Coolscan 5000ED and made some Photoshop optimazation like noise reduction on the clouds and color.

Kodachrome is a very dificult film to scan and this image was a huge challenge.

Wonderful simple scene and comp superbly composed and captured. I sometimes miss shooting slides but very rarely used Kodachrome. I was almost exclusively Velvia in those days. Marvelous image of a unique and special moment. >=))>
