What kind of Wildlife Photographer Are "YOU"

The roller and bee eaters are wonderfully colourful.

Two other birds with amazing colours that I saw, but didn’t get photos of were the violet eared waxbill and the blue waxbill. They look almost unbelievable.

Hyenas & Wildebeest....we saw so many of each every day

the leopards were my favorite of the big cats...even though they were the smallest. But pound for pound, they are the strongest. I was so delighted that we saw some every day because they told us not to count on seeing any.

Our day time sightings were only glimpses. We did have a very good sighting of a leopard laying in a tree on the return from an evening drive, but it was pretty dark and high ISO was required.

A couple of times we saw a mom call to her cub to come eat. Other than that, the mom & the cubs stay separated. Baby is a little chubster

LEOPARDS!!!!!! The coolest animal in Africa. Not close IMO.

The little cub was a real treat. Hard to find them out in the open. Mamma is very protective.

That little tacker doesn't look as though it needs a feed.
Really beautiful animals.
Equally lovely photos

I have several more cubs. We saw 3 while we were there and two of them twice. I was beyond giddy even though i didnt get very goid shots of them. They are well hidden in the darkest underbrush. I will dig out a couple more.

I apologize for the poor quality of these shot but it was practically dark under the thick brush and sometimes I did not have a good vantage point for taking a photo. Leopard cubs! A real treat to see!

Leopard Cubs

Muddy Lion starting to dig in. i honestly am surprised that this came out at all.....see the ISO! Then, the next day, this was all that was left of the hippo...skin & bones.

I have some of a lion on an elephant carcass at the same and even higher ISOs. They still need some processing, so I may be able to post some this weekend. These were on 5d3 and 7d2, so will likely be noisier than yours. I don’t think they will be suitable for printing at a large size.

I LOVE all your leopard photos including the cubs! Job well done Maureen!!!

Sometimes you just gotta get the shot to keep the memories but they aren't always in the best conditions. Lions were more active as dusk, leopards were under thick brush and my 100-400mm lens stops at f/4. And sometimes were were out in harsh light or under dark rain clouds. You just have to be flexible and do the best you can.

As Maureen says, sometimes the memory outweighs the quality
