Very nicely done, especially the first.

These are very common in Melbourne, but this one was posing nicely.  The light was low, so they were shot at iso 3200 on a G9 with PL 100-400.

Well said.

Beautiful scene, light and composition. This would be good printed and framed.

Cute shot that tells a story. Nice sharpness on the dog's face too.

Yes, they all have red eyes. Thanks

G9 and PL 100-400.

There was heavy rain while we were there, which meant that some of the reserve, where drives would normally go from Entim, was inaccessible. We weren't aware of the road to Nairobi being closed, ...

Thanks for your comments. A travelogue is pretty simple, as it happens. The trip was with a wildlife photographer called David Lloyd, who uses Entim camp in the Mara. He runs it in multiples of a ...

Thanks Dave. The weather was OK - we were there at the beginning of the rainy season. It was rare to shoot in bright sunlight, but the cloudscapes were more interesting than a clear blue sky. A ...

Thanks Traveller It was specifically a photographic safari led by a wildlife photographer (David). He was assisted by another professional photographer (Amy). The group size is a maximum of 12, ...

Thanks Paul.

Thanks Dave. We knew the hornbill was likely to toss its head back to swallow a prey item, so we followed it. There's about a second between the bird pouncing on something and throwing it down its ...

Thanks Dave. I had an Olympus body with me as well, with an Olympus 40-150 f2.8. That was useful in low light when the subject was close, but I probably used the Panasonic body with the 100-400 80% ...

Hello All Towards the end of the last challenge, I mentioned that I was off to Kenya for a couple of weeks. I was asked to share some photos. It was a fantastic trip and we saw a lot in 2 weeks. I' ...
