Technical details:

These photos were all taken with either my Nikon D100 digital SLR or my Canon S400 digital point-and-shoot. I had three Nikkor lenses for my D100: 17-35mm f/2.8, 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6, and 80-400mm f/4.0-5.6 VR. I'll be happy to send you a high-res version or a print of any of these pictures (or the other 1,858 I took on the trip!). Email stefan @ stefanpharies.net.
