Thanks for the compliment RP are you sure you are feeling OK?Richprins wrote:Very original, BT...talent can be enhanced through innovation!
That bushbuck took me STRAIGHT back to my first one in Kruger...when I used to get up early!
Getting up early is essential in the bush, it's the best part of the day!

Thanks BC! Patience was rewarded with a beautiful animal in exquisite golden light. Every photographers dream!Bushcraft wrote:Fantastic leopard sighting
Patience was rewarded
Those junior hyenas are too cool
I get so frustrated trying to take pics on those misty mornings, but you captured some great shots
Misty morning pictures are tricky but tweaking them with photoshop can improve them dramatically. Raw image processing is amazing - I now consider the capture of the image in the camera to be only part of the process of making a picture. It's surprising how only small changes can improve an image dramatically.

Day 10 continued.
At Timbavati, on the thatched roof of the kitchen, a Grey Foam-Nest Frog.
A hairy caterpillar.
And a pair of mating Beetles.
On the way back to camp, a Leopard of a different kind.
Back to the river on the afternoon drive. On the way, a couple of Dragonflies.
Lucia Widow Palpopleura lucia
On the bridge, a Jumping Spider Thyene inflata.
And a golden Hippo.
Driving back to camp, a beautiful but dead Butterfly.
And a Three-Banded Plover.
Back on the S90 about 2Kms from Balule we had our second Leopard sighting. It was almost dark when a shadow moved quickly across the road about 30 metres ahead of us and disappeared into the bush. We only saw it for a couple of seconds and identified it as a Leopard because of the white tip to its tail.

Great jumping Spider shots, BluTuna,
needless to say that when I spotted my very first one I got a bit irritated about their jumps
Gorgeous hyaena shots and fantastic leopard pictures on top - WoW
