To be honest – it was a panic choice. As we arrived at Mapungubwe, my wildlife lens decided it is no longer focussing automatically. So I had to manually focus and it just made me photo-panic…. A good lesson to check equipment before trips.

Just a heads-up, we noticed that you are posting your images in both the Wildlife Group and on your Profile. The good news is that there’s no need to post your images in both places. Simply post in the Group, and it will automatically appear on your Profile.

Thanks for sharing, Landie. We love the gorgeous lighting and nuanced contrasts! This isn’t the Photo Critique Group, but we’re curious: why did you set the aperture to f/29? At f/11 or f/16, for instance, the picture would have remained tack-sharp and allowed for a lower ISO. This would have provided better quality, especially if you plan to print it larger, while maintaining a fast shutter speed.
