AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE
Wildebeest Migration, Masai Mara Reserve, Kenya

One of the world's greatest spectaculars is the wildebeest migration that occurs annually between Tanzania and Kenya. With up to 1.5 million wildebeest (gnus) and hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, it is indeed the world's last great migration.

Such a massive event is very difficult to record in one single image, so the best a photographer can do is try to capture a "slice" that best portrays the spectacle. And one image can never portray the rich soundscape.

For those of you with a broadband internet connection or don't mind waiting, here is an even wider view.

This image is less than half of a 6 image composite, stitched together in Photoshop CS2. Canon EOS-1D Mark II camera, EF 70-200 f2.8 IS lens; exposure of 1/500 at f8, ISO 100; mounted on Arca B-1 Ballhead, with a Kirk Window Mount.
