Stayed with some of my wife's family in South Africa for a week. They live on a golf course that offers "golf in the wild." This is what they're talking about, I guess!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
