I'm really loving this site and am sure appreciating the great quality of photos featured.

I wanted to post a few critter pics from our Uganda trip. These are modest in comparison (we have a typically set to auto canon digital) but the subjects presented themselves nicely (not their fault we're just simple country folk lol :D )

    Thank you very much for your responses and feedback.

    Here are a few more - my experience with working with effects is pretty limited so aside from touch up on color I'm not sure what else to do.

    What a trip that must have been...... one of these days I would love to do a Safari.

    The spider you posted, I'm guessing its not small right ??? it's got a decent sized body on it, is it an ORB ?

    Your Gator shot..... looks nasty inside that mouth hu :uhoh what a big ole boy he seems to be.

    Thanks bunches for the warm welcome everyone! :)

    I really appreciate all your comments.

    Am still not sure what kind of spiders they were - they were really big and full of scaryness.

    That particular croc was pretty massive. I still get a little grossed out when I look in his mouth.

    We were able to spend 1 day on the safari (was in Uganda for 2.5 weeks working at an orphanage) so the time went really quick but we were fortunate in seeing a variety of animals. It really is a beautiful place.

    Thank you again. Lovin this forum and website.

    The spider is really cool, but I also really like the elephants! At least two babies there! The mom's look very intimidating. Welcome to Dgrin!!
