Rwanda Gorilla Tracking: A Photo Essay
// June 4th, 2010 // Rwanda
I planned on putting captions to these photos, but I really think they speak for themselves. I hope that I have captured the gentle nature of these giants and you will feel like you were there with me.

Amazing photos Laura. You have captured some great emotions behind those faces of the gorillas.

Did you keep one?
If you had seen the babies, you’d know I was tempted! However, I also saw how big they get so thought it was best to leave them in the park!
Agreed no captions are needed, it really looks like such a wonderful experience. Gorillas in the Mist is one of my favorite movies so this is definitely on my bucket list.

Although pricey it was definitely a wonderful experience. The one hour you’re allowed goes by quickly!
These are beautiful pictures. You captured their faces perfectly.

Superb photos Laura, what a great experience it must have been. I heard that there is some ongoing political tension not too far from where they are, is this true?

Thanks you so much Vibeke! It’s a rare travel moment and one I definitely recommend.
Photographing gorillas is really high on my bicket list. Hoping more conservation and education takes place so they will be around for my daughter to enjoy

You’ve captured their expression and moods so well.
You did v.well to get so close (you must have good +ve energy and vibes) and take such close up candid expressions
On another note I find it tough to upload pics on blogs-did you convert them to web res then post them?
I have just signed upto Picasa and hoping some sort of Picasa plugin can help me upload my pics easier on my blog which is fyi http://www.europebudgetguide.com
Say hola!
