Beautiful and a D10F, Pierre. One of your most breathtaking photos!

Excellent shot Pierre. You must be realy sneaky or have a good Zoom or they dont mind humans.

Hey Pierre tell what you think about your new scanner. I am real interested in it. if you dont mind.

Etosha park, Namibia.
Thanks Cain - thanks to all

Beautiful animals Pierre. The foreground grass seems a little out of focus, was this a long telephoto shot?

Yes: 300 mm. Thanks Darryl

They are beautiful aren't they? Although I can't imagine how they could use those horns in amy practical way... Pierr, did you take this at a zoo or on one of your overseas expeditions you seem to take so frequently?

Etosha park - Namibia. It's a very large park (23000 km2 = 2/3 of Belgium).
When you enter the park, you must accept the rules: -1) Never come out of the truck, except if you are inside a camping -2) Never come out the camping without the truck...
Then, animals are free and tourists are prisoners... ;-)
Out of the camping they distributed water points where animals come to drink. The animals understood that tourists are noisy, malodorous, but innocuous. Therefore they dare to approach to ± 50 m
Between them and us there was only a simple gate...

That reminds me of something I saw on TV once, these people were in a lion safari park and their car engine caught fire... their choice: stay in the car and be fried, or get out and be eaten :-o

Fortunately the park rangers came in time to save them...

Marvelous shot. I love the colors and the ripples in the water.

Thanks Klas!

i have to ask you something?

do you just go migarateing around the world takeing wonderfull pictures and not have a real job or any kind of income, just eating out of grabrage cans and robing people for there shoes and clothing when your rags can not keep you warm

or are you a triple agent working luxenburg and you only take pictures to keep your cover, you have a multi billion dollor house in the jo bogenburg islands were you biuld space ship rocket engines and find cures for cancer


but what i realy want to know is
1. is your life easy
2. does it pay good
3. how can i get it

Very nice capture. It seems as though they are posing for you. Interesting question inspiron. :P

Thanks Rose. Do you like to eat pie too? ;-)

Very cool photo.! Beautiful animals & well captured. You have some marvelous animal photos. Keep the images coming.

This is one great capture Pierre. Well done.

inspiron has asked the question i wanted to know.. you seem to have images from all around the world.. wish me luck, i would like to travel all around one day :) and maybe even take pictures :)

and the image.. background water has a really nice blue shade. oh, and an excellent close up, i;'m surprised they didn't run away. they are truly beautiful animals! i rarely see them and you reminded me of their beauty, thank you :)

I don't usually get excited about animal shots, but this is a great shot!!!***
