From out of the slide archives - Victoria Falls

[Laurence Griffiths]

Three photos taken during a "Flight of the Angels" flight over the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River between Zimbabwe and Zambia taken on 5 June 1986. I used an Olympus OM-2n camera, a Tokina 28-85mm f/4 lens (which I still have) and Fujichrome 50 film.

One of the advantages of scanning slides into digital format is that you have the opportunity to edit them. - Such as straightening horizons and cropping out bits of offending aircraft wing from the bottom of the photos.

​

There was a lot of water going over the Falls that year.

An absolutely beautiful series. Well done.

They make wish I had insisted on the honeymoon to see these. I was overruled.

Scanning to digital does indeed offer some significant benefits.

A great set.

It's not too late. There is an international airport at Victoria Falls, about 20km from the actual Falls.

Thank you. My previous photos of the falls had all been destroyed when our home was flooded in Jan 1985. I just had to go back and take another set.

Beautiful series, Laurence. The water vapor is incredible.
