This was a trip of a lifetime. I ended up going on a photo workshop safari in Tanzania led by Andy Biggs. And obviously, we were shooting digital 99.9% of the time with long lenses to capture the wildlife. But I shoot mostly large format here at home, because it suits my style a little better.
So I ended up bringing my Toyo 4x5 along with me, somewhat against Andy's recommendation. But I told him that even if I only get one photo with the camera from the entire trip, it'll be worth it. And sure enough, the extra 20 pounds of camera gear got me the shot I wanted. There were many fantastic opportunities for the most spectacular landscape shots, but the problem was that we weren't allowed out of the vehicles except for a piss break, at designated picnic areas, or back at camp. This was very limiting and frustrating. But I got the ONE shot I wanted and I thought I'd share it with you. Enjoy!
