Shade ..None but early in the morning sun is at the proper side ..right behind so park sideways and no sun falls on the drivers side 3/5
Distance from water 2/5 ..requires a 700mm lens on Full Frame for impala size animals
Distance from camp 18 Kms from Satara 4/5
Peace and quiet 5/5 ..Nobody pulls in ..They all seem to be trying to make a big dust cloud on the S100..This arrangement suits me fine

Pic of Impala taken far side from Car Park in Gorgeous sunrise light ..Nikon D3S (Full Frame ) and 500mm lens plus 1.4 x convertor = 700mm
