Camels return home from pasture

I recently returned from a week filming in Kenya for the BBC News. Myself and Correspondent Will Ross travelled to a small airstrip in the town of Lodwa and then drove into the rural areas to make the following film about the drought and its impact on the local Turkana people.

The Turkana area of Kenya is beautiful, it is just such a shame that the goat herders way of life looks unlikely to survive against the back drop of continuing drought and modernisation.

I shot our film using small cameras, my Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Sony EX1. The reason for this is that I have been suffering from chest inflammation and couldn’t face lugging my heavy DSR 500 around. The pictures needed a bit of work to bring them up to scratch but I’m generally happy with the final result.
