Animal Kingdom December Photowalk

[Scottwdw]

During the December Disney fan get together's, TMIPer Barrie Brewer, Erin and myself hosted a photowalk in AK for AllEars.net. ; Here's the group shot...

You will see TMIPer's Gary and Dennis as well as other famous (or should I say infamous?) Disney fans. ; We had a good 40 people show up before the park opened. ; Gave away some stuff and headed into the park. We did the Pangani trail first.

Here John Hayes (aka Town Crier) is assisting me as I photograph the Bird Spotting Guide (click link for a hi-res version for your own use).

A couple of birds...

Taveta Golden Weaver (Ploceus castaneiceps) at the nest.

Pygmy Goose (Nettapus auritus) doing his best to ignore me.

Nikon D700/28-300VR, 1/250s, f/5.6, ISO 1400, EV +0.3, 300mm FL, cropped.

A couple of Hippo underwater photos (notice the feet of a duck in the first one)...

Great set! I was sorry I missed this but camping with my son and the cub scouts took priority.

Another Incredible poster!
