Lucky shot of this Kingfisher at the Zoo. Just thought I'll share this as well.

Ok. Doing slightly better on this trip, but the keep rate is still very low. Shooting with long telephoto lenses seems so difficult when you've shot with little rangefinder systems. But rangefinders don't have reach....

Oh well. Another few chances to practice before the trip. Let's see if I get better.

Cheers,

With the upcoming trip to Africa, decided to take out my SLR gear to refresh my skills with these gear.

Boy! Do I need a refresher. Anyway, one of the few decent pictures from the session at the zoo.

Hope I get up to speed before I leave for the African Safari.
