African Wildlife (7 phoyo's)

[Michel88]

Some shots I took during my vacation to South Africa. I am a huge fan of Wildlife, and photographing it. Was my first trip where I had access to my D3100. Shot these with my Tamron 70 - 300 f4 - 5.6 VC lens. Happy with how most of them turned out, although I would have liked to have a better visual on the lions.

Nice shots, #2 for me too The last one would have been so cool if the grass strands didn't block the eye so much..

Cheers guys, appreciate it!

Ha, I can upload some terrible pics for you if you like But I see your point. To me, there's nothing more exciting than photographing African wildlife, largely due to my passion and education of it, but also the unpredictedness..

These ellieshots were taken on my very last game drive in South Africa, and after about a few hours of driving, and nothing notably spectacular, we found 4 elephants establishing dominance over one another..

I think #5 would look nice in color as well.
