Here are some more of my adventure shots - the hippos are not the most cooperative of subjects to catch them on land in the middle of the day was a treat - It seems that these 2 were having words and were discussing who owned the local pond -

This guy chased another fellow out of the pond

Good stuff Marcy...

Sure wish you'd post the Exif information. Would be helpful to learn how to do things right. ;)

Fyi - I had 2 cameras at the ready both MK IV one had a 500mm L IS the other had a 70-200 L IS - these shots were with the 70-200
the Hippos were very close within 10 yds of the vehicle - 1/160 at F/11 -2/3 exp Iso 250 at 135mm focal length
the Giraffes were further away 50 yds of the vehicle - at 1/400 f/5.6 -1/3exp Iso 100 at 200mm focal length
