Flutterby wrote:Wow, your BBJ pics are great!! $\O$ We never seem to have luck with them - too far away and on the move. The cubs are too cute!

Thanks Fluts, we normally had the same problem with BBJs, but this one was different... just luck

The close ups of the BBJ are fantastic.

If I may ask - is that a close up photo or is it cropped?

Thanks STF

and sure you may ask! It is a close up, the BBJ was so near that at one time I couldn't focus anymore with the 500mm lens $0*\$

Actually I'm happy with any animal which crossed our way, except in the early mornings when the light was still bad $0*\$ Well, the worst pics are still to come taken in such light, but as this episode will be about zebras you get to see the first two bad ones

I still post them as it shows a bit of behaviour of the animal

Zebras are so photogenic and the little ones look like little rock stars
