Thanks!

It was a magical sunset which almost led to us being stuck in the bush, as both gate and camps had closed...

Lots of amazing shots in this thread. It's a great inspiration and I still have some ways to go. But since I visited the zoo yesterday and managed to get a couple of good shots (IMO) I figured I'd share one:

Well, he posted the picture didn't he

But seriously Mick, could you describe how you took the picture and lived to post it?

This looks great, but, and I'm just curious, is this a Photo ?? that you have taken, or a construct of some sort, if it's an image what a corker, really. I imagine your now in hospital trying to get unflattened.

Very nice Darlip, It's unusual colouring for a Cheetah, but I've noticed that in namibia with Giraffe as well, seem to have much darker colouring than say East/Southern Africa, clearly you also liked it as I note you use it for your Avatar. I'm out to Namibia again in March 2014 to spend 3 weeks shooting the Himba, well, not exactly "Shooting" the Himba, Photographing the Himba, most Beautiful People in Africa, I'de Post one of my Himba Lady shots bit last time I did the Moderator pulled it down after about 30 Minutes.

Hi all, thanks for the kind comments. Im ok didnt get ran over. Came bloody close though on a few occassions.The horse pic is a horse pic, its not a construction of 20 images as im not clever enough to do that but you have given me an idea....hmmmm!!!. I was with some fellow photographers and the guy who ran it told me all the horses in the Camargue are owned by someone. Some live on farms others out in the marshland. Anyhow, heres a one to show how close they got and where using a 1D series really came in handy. Standing in a marsh with my waders when they ran past wasnt my cleverest idea. Still doing stupid stuff for a picture is something we all on here appreciate. My wife on the other hands just thinks we're all nuts. Ive kept the best stuff for my little web site.
