Hyenas got the tip of this poor elephant's trunk :( She seemed to be doing ok without it thankfully.


Sure, make me start thinking about spending the money it would take to get me a safari trip. You just keep posting killers.

This is a great pic, but it seems to me to be tinted a bit too much magenta. This happens to me when there's a lot of foliage and the AWB tries to make it less green.

I'm not great with greens and reds together (color blind). I'll try to pull it back a bit on a reshot at post. Thanks.

You guys with your moose and caribou shots are making me jealous.

I was looking at birds that all vanished when I picked up my telephoto. But there were some bees flying around. Would've been sharper if I'd taken off my 2x extender, but I was still pleasantly surprised.

Actually, you seem to be doing quite well. I don't think those photos are lovely! That vulture shot is pretty good.

sometimes maybe good
sometimes maybe shit
A lovely 70-300 is better than no 70-300.

If you didn't say anything I would have never guessed what lens that was taken with.

That comment was inspired by the crazy amount of chromatic aberrations I observed around the bull just as I went to post these pictures.

Wow, you guys are just amazing. Also makes me really want a telephoto.

I went on a trip to the Galapagos 9 months ago and just started going through all the pictures. I guess it took a long time for the trip to settle in my mind or something. Going through all of them just after the trip was too daunting.

Anyway, here are a handful.

I find it a little worrying that a deer is able to get that close to a building. Do they go through your trash and stuff?

This is in the middle of a city (in a park). The only real nuisance they cause is wrecking plants and getting hit by cars.

Deer are just really big rats, give them the same level of consideration you would any small rodent.
