Taken from a Micro Light whilst on a flight over the Sth Luangwa River- Zambia.
Whilst not the sharpest image, I quite like the composition and the fact that I got their attention.

Nikon D2Hs/17-55 f/2.8 f/4 ISO 200 1/250s
203215117-L.jpg

I think this is a time where VR on the 17-55 would have really helped with the engine vibration.
Here's what she looks like

And a nice shot of a Hippo pod looking like bacteria thru a microscope! :D

C&C welcome

    I don't need my NG magazine with your images even though it was a little shakey. You can still see the fat little bellies on the cubs making for some fantastic shots, but I hope you had an alternate landing spot in case of engine failure. thumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gif

    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!"
