No worries mate. More than happy to do so. Makes me think of bringing two bodies now...

Nice shots. Are they SOOC or PP?

Some OOC JPEG Landscape mode. But I PP the RAW to be close to the OOC with a bit more contrast.

I have visited Namibia 3 times and won't mind going back. Trying to see some other parts of Africa as well, though - there's still so many places on the list!

And maybe, some day, we'll manage to go to other parts of the world...

Savoche, indeed. However, safety is something of concern.

Wonderful pictures! This is exactly what I want to do. My 645Z arrived yesterday. Maybe I can make it to S.A. again this year ...
Have a nice and safe trip! Enjoy!!!

Beautiful shots of the desert and solitude of the south of Namibia. It is such a beautiful area to visit. The pic of the gas station in Solitiare is amazing. You made something out of almost nothing..

You passing through Cape Town at some stage?

Lots of great stuff in the Africa series. Thanks for posting!

Thanks, I sincerely hope you do make a trip to SA and beyond. The 645Z will be a performer.
