A Short, unexpected KNP visit

Great shots BL, Looking at your settings ,if I had to go as high as you went with the ISO I would be looking at spots.

Thanks PRWIN, I have a habit of picking up the camera and taking a shot before I've checked the settings (something I need to change), sometimes they come out OK so I use them. The sensor on the D5100 is pretty good with high ISO but the shots do get grainy at over 1600.

Mine hits grainy over 400

The animals in Pretoriuskop area have such a tranquillity about them . . . . maybe because they live in such a tranquil environment

Nice BT

Love the kudu and landscape pics! Interesting pics of the bugs.

Unique pics!









Doing some research...never seen those cockroaches, but name seems fine?



Regarding the raptor...looks like a photoshopped pigeon, but rare I think! Some sort of harrier!



BT...you spend too much time watching TV!

Thanks mposthumus! Maybe they look tranquil because it's easier to hide from predators in thick bush.
