Thank you! Our guide said that they called it the "security pose"; both zebras could rest and watch each other's backs. I love the symmetry of it.
BTW, one secret I learned on that trip: just keep shooting! I took about 2000 pictures, immediately deleted about 500 of them after I took them because they were blurry or cut off, then when I got home I narrowed down the 1500 left to 900 that were all decent shots. And I made a Flickr album of about 90 that are my favorites.

That is a cool pic ... where is that? Will have my sailboat hopefully in the next 3 months, maybe we'll throw an anchor out near you? NOT too near you.

I’m not sure if this thread is still active, but just in case:
Just getting started on a digitization project, scanning old photos. It’ll take a while.
I’ve been using TIFF as the output format for my scans. My understanding is that it’s lossless and a reasonably widely-understood format among various tools.
Good/bad choice?

It's fine as long as storage space is not an issue for you. That's less of a factor now with cheaper HD space than it used to be. I usually save scans in .jpg format anyway and make any changes in Lightroom, which does not alter the original image.
But for your purpose it's a Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge type choice.

Thanks, storage is not a big deal at present. And some of these photos are Fords. Model T, in fact.
I just want to keep the most information preserved from the original image. Right now, it’s all drudge work of scanning but down the road I want to do post-processing and hope to use digiKam and/or GIMP (both open source).

I can’t give you any advice, but whenever we got aerial photos digitally at work from an aerial photography company, they were always tiffs

How good is your scanner though?
Very high DPI that you will be able to post process?

That’s a good question/point. It’s a consumer model, up to something like 2400. But I expect to stick at 300 for “everyday” shots and 600 for images I especially like. I’ve only done less than a handful at 600 so far.
