Hi all,
I’m going to be going to Kenya in July for a wedding, and will be going on safari whilst we’re out there. I’ve been once before, but didn’t really have a good camera setup so didn’t take it too seriously, this time I’d like to put a bit more effort in.
I have (or will have) a R100 (hopefully an R50 by then) and the 18-150 and 100-400 lens. I’ll be getting circular polarisers for the lenses, probably a beanbag or monopod for any longer exposures. I was wondering about other filters. I have a good set of Lee ND grads. 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 in the soft and hard line varieties (if that’s what you call them) is it worth taking those? I’m just thinking of the stereotypical shot of animals with a bright sky. I’m guessing they’re difficult to expose with such different light levels? Or is it best to not blow the sky and adjust with PP?
Any other advice is very much appreciated. I used to do a bit of photography 10 years ago, but I’ve forgotten so much!! Probably more than I ever knew!
