New to DSLR and UHH
Mar 4, 2013 15:57:27 #
Hello everyone, after years of using compacts I finally bought myself a DSLR a Canon 600D, the excuse being a holiday to South Africa. My wife is surprised at what else I had to buy...a camera bag, canon 70-200 f4, tripod, flash...you know how it is!
Now I only have to learn how to use it all, I have been observing from the sidelines for a few months although I did respond to a LCD screen query.
Anyway here are a couple of shots from my holiday.

Hi Crazytooth: Welcome to the forum. Great excuse to buy equipment...lol... I liked the shots but doubt I would get that close to a lion even with a 70-200 lens, unless there was something between it and me. Looks like you had a great time with a super photo op.

Congratulations on the camera equipment, nice pictures, did you at least let your Wife have your old compact?

Thanks for your comments,
The lion was shot from a safari vehicle, fortunately the animals tended to ignore it.
I still like the compact (canon SX220HS), but I now let my wife use it.
I am not sure what "same as travlinman46" means, is it some sort of code?

His comment about where you were relative to the lion- was something between the two of you- I was wondering the same thing- no code- LOL

Nothing but open air, the vehicles are very picture taking friendly, especially if like me you avoid the middle seat (three in a row)

Bet that lion could outrun that open vehicle you are in so I sure hope they are friendly!
