I haven't told the story of my experiences at the India-Pakistan border to many people yet. I'll post a blog entry soon.
KENYA, Ol Kinyei, Maasai Mara: In a photograph taken by Make It Kenya 14 June 2015, a Secretary Bird a Lapet-Faced Vulture sits atop a tree in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy in Kenya's Maasai Mara. The management of Ol Kinyei and similar conservancies bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve and in other areas of Kenya is an alternative approach to wildlife conservation. The land on which the conservancies are located is leased from local communities who directly benefit from its use to naturally host and protect wildlife populations. The privately owned and managed conservancies also offer employment to members of these communities and further opportunity of training in different areas of expertise from guides and trackers to chefs and camp management. Strict regulation of visitor numbers and the construction of camps inside the conservancies also limit the amount of people and vehicles present at any given time, offering tourists a much more personal and exclusive wildlife safari experience while at the same time reducing stress on and the disturbance of wildlife populations, which quickly begin to return and repopulate areas and land transformed under the conservancy model.

D21847. A Wildflower Border next to the Diana - Princess of Wales Memorial Walk in Hyde Park, London, England.
Hyde Park dates back to 1536 when King Henry VIII created it as a hunting ground, but it has only been a public park since 1637; we have King Charles I to thank for that.

This evening I took Vanessa to Borders, where we spent about an hour and a half browsing before the bookstore closed at 11 p.m. She collected a few books, set them down on an easy chair, and left for a few minutes, during which I decided I wanted to get a candid shot of her as she perused her materials. In order to challenge myself a bit, I also decided I would take exactly ONE photo, no more, and hope for the best. So while Vanessa was away, I set up my camera and speedlight and planned the shot, for which I settled on a shutter speed of 1/350 sec., an ISO of 200, an aperture of f/2.8, white balance set for flash, and vertical orientation of the camera. A minute or so after she settled into her chair, I whipped out the camera (which had been mostly hidden from view), aimed it at her, and pushed the shutter button.
I decided to upload this pretty much the way it came out of the camera, apart from cropping and minor adjustments in curves and contrast. While I don't claim this to be any kind of masterpiece, my only real complaint about it is that there is excessive light falloff in the distance. The store wasn't really as dark as it appears here; but then, if I had used a longer shutter speed, Vanessa herself might have been overexposed, and she, after all, was my subject. I did manage to make the light immediately around her nearly perfect, and without some kind of secondary light source, I couldn't have done much about the background anyway. I wish I could have used a solid-color background, or perhaps a muslin one, just on the other side of where Vanessa was sitting. (I could create a new background in PSE, and might do that sometime, but I find that doing so is often more troublesome and time-consuming than it is really worth.)
On the other hand, perhaps I should have used a slower shutter speed and set the flash for rear-curtain sync, a feature I've never used before. I didn't think of that until the following morning, when I was working out on an exercise bike at the gym and alleviated the boredom by reading a book about exposure.
But its imperfections notwithstanding, I had a lot of fun planning and executing this little miniproject.

On the border between China and North Korea in Jilin province. At the village of Licun there is no fence and it is possible to step into the narrow Tumen River. Locals caution against wading too far across however.

Whilst Elk & Mist might look as though they are doing this together, ..in reality they are having independant thoughts and the 'other' one is an 'inconvenience'! At least the stick is the common thread lol!
Sallan kansallispuisto, Salla.

Recently disscussing on Facebook Group about Warrington Memories, sent me back to 1979 when the gatehouse at Thames Board Mills handed out Spotters Lists of the visiting Robsons Transport Trucks. All the names started with Border. IE "Border Tipster" Happy days train spotting & Border spotting at Arpley!
