I had seen the NgoroNgoro crater once before, and was inspired by the incredible art of its wild nature. This September morning, as I jumped into the 4x4, I was sick. But not even a bout of Dengue fever was going to make me miss this opportunity. I had a harder time balancing highlights and shadows.
