Space was a consideration on the trip, so I left my film SLR and lenses at home. I was using a simple Sony DSC-H5 point-and-shoot with it's 12x Zeiss lens. Distance on the lions was maybe 100yds +/-. I was on horseback for the shot on the wildebeest which seemed to put them more at ease. Maybe 50-60yds.
A couple more. The top is a sunset in the Matopos region of Zimbabwe. Also, one for your daughter. Sorry about the quality. That little fella wouldn't let me closer than a couple hundred yds so my lens was maxed. Finally, game bird storage, native style (Apologies again. I couldn't use a flash in the hut and the shutter speed was awfully slow.)
