Welcome Crazytooth. (interesting name. How did you come upon it) Tell your wife we all think you got your moneys worth and used your investment well. Nice work. If you were referring to being confused over travlnman's use of the phrase "super photo op" he meant opportunity. Can't figure what else could have been cryptic in his post. Enjoy the hog.

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?

Travelman was asking, did you use a zoom lens when you took the pic of the lion.

As long as you not too noisy and you do not break the outline of the vehicle (don't stand up) the animals ignore you, one guy stood up when we were near some impala and they immediately skedaddled!
I also got some nice shots of rhino and one time we got so close to elephants that my 70-200 was too long!

Crazy Tooth was my cowboy name given to me by the official Calgary Stampede website when I visited a few years ago

Yes, I was using my 70-200 - f5.6, 1/500sec, ISO 200.
