Johan - truly beautiful! Thanks.

Wonderful photos, Johan. I stood on some of those same spots in and around Capetown.
I'm looking forward to your trip report. Did you ever do one on your Namibia trip? If so, would you please post a link because I must have missed it. Thanks.

Those are stunning. I know that we've all photographed the lilac breasted roller, but yours is, by far, the best picture of that spectacular bird I've ever seen. I'm very glad that you decided to post those photos on this forum. Thanks for sharing, Michael

Thanks again, guys and girls (or is it men and women) - I'll try to answer the questions this weekend.

Best regards,

Johan

Some answers:

That spectacular bird is the most photographed bird in Africa I think: lilac-breasted roller (aka LBR).

I haven't posting in any magazines yet.

The pictures of the birds are taken after long waiting. Of course for birds in flight you need a fast "lens". I take also lots of pictures, to have a few good ones.


The lion was actually chasing a hyena. We first encountered the hyena chewing on the bones of a buffalo calf and then saw the male lion looking at it. We positioned ourselves so that the lion should run in our direction and I was able to take a picture (full frontal).

Best regards,

Johan

I used the D2X besides the D200.
