Africa Wild

We need the antics of resident animals Flutterby - even baboons - to add a bit of spice to the posts! Agree with Peter - try and keep away from the digital zoom - rather shoot with optical zoom only and crop later if you need to or keep the image as a landscape. Once you take the shot with the ...
