Terrific series of captures Rahul, great variety of animals, compositions and lighting.

I really like most of them, especially the elephant, close up cheetah and leopard and the giraffe. Very well done.

Haven't read all the comments and your replies but I notice a lot taken with the 40-150mm. Did you find this focal range sufficient most of the times because of the size of the animals or just trying to include the environment in the shots?

Did you find that you used the 40-150mm more then the 300mm f4?

Cheers

Hey  Dennis

Thanks for the compliment.

I am glad I bought the 40-150 pro before I went. I did use it a lot, mostly during

1) early morning and late evening for the f2.8

2) when we were very close to the animals

3) for habitat shots but used the 300 almost as much.

I am so much more comfortable with the 300 than anything shorter.

Cheers Dennis

Rahul
