Having swapped over to Canon equipment in the summer a couple of weeks ago was my first chance to capture some of Africa's wildlife. This is my 1st posting on the forum so I hope that I have got the settings correct. I was visiting the Kruger park in South Africa for a couple of weeks ago with my wife and during this period had a couple of nights in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and had the luck to see 6 different leopards.

Both pictures were taken in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, South Africa with the Canon 50D, Sigma 120-400mm f/4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM @ 1000 iso. 1st picture at 120mm, f7 1/200 sec. 2nd picture at 323mm f7, 1/200 sec

Nice Shots! You seem to have adapted well to Canon gear!

I was in Sabi Sands last year, and I think we only got to see 2 or 3 leopards (One of which is hanging on my wall staring at me right now - the picture, of course not the leopard itself :-) ).

I took the road less traveled; now where the heck am I!?
