    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Ugly, isn't he?

    My favorite part of this site is the wide variety of birds posted. Thanks for sharing that one...

    Interesting creature you found there. Hope to get to Africa some day. As Harry said, it is a tad soft and perhaps a little noisy. I use Noise Ninja to take care of that.

    Hi - Thank you all for your comments...

    You're quite right Harry, I certainly had a great time! Did notice that it is hard getting everything in "long range" focus with several persons in a vehicle. In the Kruger National Park, you are not allowed out of the car with the exception of certain designated places. This is unfortunately rather restrictive when taking photos.

    Cheers - Herman
