It's amazing what you can accomplish on a long plane ride (back to England for me). I finished uploading all the pictures from ROAR. I put them into two new galleries on smugmug: one labeled "Safari" which is all animals and the other labeled "Scenery" which covers Cape Town, Wine Country, Singita and Victoria Falls. You can find all the pics here:

Gosh oh Wow M'ellen! I'm so impressed. Professionalism at work...I watched you taking pictures and it looked so easy. The picture is only as good as the subject and didn't we have the cream of the crop?!

Thanks everyone. To be fair, it is a spectacular location for photography - as Suzie mentioned we had the "cream of the crop" in terms of subjects. Also, Ron Litteken was in our RangeRover providing real time coaching - I learned more from him in four days than in the last couple of years of trying things on my own. I'm glad everyone is enjoying the photos.

Great photo's, Mary Ellen! We had so much fun with you, Jim, Ron & Linda in our Range Rover. It sure was great having Ron there giving us photography tips. It made a huge difference with mine (which I'm still working on...). Love your animal shots - Did you get one of the bull elephant who scared the daylights out of us??? I didn't but thought someone may have. :ohmy: - Michele

Hi Michelle,

No, I most definitely did not get a shot of the scary elephant. I believe that at the moment he was four feet away from us (on our side of the car) that I had slid over to Jim's side of the vehicle and was praying that the elephant would just keep on moving! Besides, I might have spilled my wine if I tried to take a picture!

It's all a matter of priorities.....
