One day, Muis. When you least expect it, I will pitch up at your front door with a KFC bucket and a dozen of green bottles. And then there will be no hiding place for you to go to.

Re: Your most prized photo

This is the 'photo that started me on Bird Photography... It was taken with a mik and druk in the KNP, we were driving towards Berg en Dal and it was sitting on a tree next to the road. I stopped and looked up and the photo is what I saw. The focal length is 72mm !! Only years later did I realise that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Re: Your most prized photo

Great shot of the Martial Eagle! Especially with a mik and druk.
Looks like it just had a decent meal with that crop so full and bulging.


Keep looking up... you may see a bird or just choose to praise God!
