Did anyone do The Grind over the weekend?

I spent the last week in Madikwe Game Reserve, Helps having a sibling who works at a 5* Lodge...

Had great sightings of Lions almost everyday, but missed out on the Wild Dogs and Cheetah which was high on my list.

 

Here's a sunset shot which I had to do handheld, single image with 5D+16-35, iso125, 1/10sec, f22 for the sunburst.

And this was a hair raising moment, I got to watch my first successful lion hunt. There were 2 lionesses who took down this warthog, they executed it perfectly and it took all of about 5 minutes for them to get the pig. The warthog put up a serious fight and tried to get away a few times, but it finally gave up after about 40mins of being held down by the 2 lions. The squeals and cries really get you but this is nature and only the strong survive.

 

This image is the full frame, using a 70D + 150-600 Sigma at 435mm, f7.1, iso640, 1/2000sec

I wanted to stop in at the Heidelberg Transport Museum last week, but was told that it is closed. Pity.

 

Love your pic.

My first serious attempt at the astro thing.

 

Changed the contrast and that is it.

 

Not entirely happy with the composition etc of the image - but it is not a bad start either. Need to do a bit more reading and tweaking and figuring out the development a bit more.

Terry - that's still something I want to do - take a long exposure shot from Signal Hill overlooking CT at night, then overlooking the bay, and out to sea...

A Dragonfly I came across during our visit to Makaranga Garden Lodge on Friday.

 

Nikon D5200, AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm at 55mm, 1/125 seconds, f/5.6, ISO 100.

Took a drive around one of the neighbouring areas a little while ago. Used the same settings as I used for the Dragonfly, although I think I should have selected a higher F stop for this one.http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb417/Fruitloop80/DSC_0868a_zpslrspfq9i.jpg
