    Hitching a Ride (Buffalo)

    This chap was quite happy to offer a ride in exchange for some free tick removal by the ox pickers. They do however also up wounds which isnt such a good thing. I got a few shots with the birds in flight as well, could have done with a brighter day had to push the iso. D850 200 to 400 f4 380mm...

    Giraffe kiss - portrait

    Going through my old giraffe safari files and came across this one with a mum and daughter. Quite happy with the angle and lighting which is often an issue with giraffe portraits. D810 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/800 f5.6 iso 100 oct 2014 photo safari

    Elephant in Grass

    A solo male wondering around the savanna. Don't actually see this too often, he looked quite healthy as well. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f5 1/1250 iso 400

    Lean on Me (Zebra)

    Always nice to see Zebra doing this. I believe its not only to rest but it allows them to keep an eye on predators in two directions at the same time. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f5 1/2000 iso 400 Africa photo safari, Feb 2024

    Sneaking Around (Lion)

    I got a few sots of this lion coming through the grass. It ended up being one of my favorite sets even though my first look at the thumbnails they didnt stand out as much as a more formal poses. Its easy to see how lions stay camouflaged amongst the dry grass. D850 200 to 500 f5.6 500m iso250...

    Lions Drinking and Walking

    These two would not keep still. I couldn't quite manage to get the right spot to capture them the way I would like (head on for the drinking one) so had to settle for this viewpoint. Such is life in the wild! D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/3200 f4 iso 400 Feb 2024 big cats photo safari, east africa

    Through the Grass (Lion African Safari)

    Stayed with two male lions for a while this is one of the last shots before they disappeared. Tricky one with focusing and the grass, I never use eye detect or subject tracking in scenes like this. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm iso 800 1/800 f4 Feb 2024 Big Cats photo safari, East Africa

    Lion in the Sun

    Nice to get a shot in the sun that isnt heavy on the contrast so quite happy with this one D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm 1/3200 f4 iso 400 Big Cats Safari East Africa Feb 2024

    Still Going - Two Male Lions

    A couple of old male lions just walking up. I would have liked to come across them a few hours later when I could have closed down and lowered the iso as well but in the wild you dont have too much choice, just make the best of it. D850 200 to 400 f4 200mm f4 1/400 iso 4000

    Cheetah in Grass

    Took quite a few shots of this cheetah walking around but mostly it had its head down. I missed this one rating the files on my first round so glad I took a closer look. D850 200 to 400 f4 400mm f6,3 1/1250 iso 400 Big cats photo safari
