Took this pic on the Massai Mara (Kenya) in Sept '04. He never would look at me but he gave me some great poses. Thanks for looking.

That's gorgeous. How close were you? Surely you had to use something longer than an 85?? Pretty animal!

Actually, Dennis, I was approx 30' from him. I was using a Fuji 3800 with a 1.5X telephoto lens attached. I was amazed at the quality image that came from this 3.2 mpixel camera.
Thanks
