The story behind the image
Gosh. Time flies. Petra took this photo of me when we visited the Okavango Delta in Botswana in 2011. We participated in an afternoon boat excursion that took us into one of the many river arms near our lodge.
I had mounted the ‘Bazooka’ (as one of the guides called the EF100-400mm lens) and took an image of an elephant IIRC.
The Canon 1D mark III body carried an APS-H sensor which effectively prolonged any lens by a factor of 1.3, i.e. the 100-400 mm behaved as a 130-520 mm zoom when compared to being used on a full frame body.
Time also flies on zanzig.com. Now, this is my 1000th post since I reopened the site in September 2021. A big thank you to all of you who read, like and follow my posts. That’s awesome.
