Safari Preparation

Yesterday, my photography instructor and I went to a local safari park so that I could practice taking pics before I actually go on safari. It was an excellent learning experience. Needless to say, I learned a lot about what NOT to do. Like, don't cut off the animal's legs if you're going for a full-body shot. Or, actually focus on the animal and not some random point in the background. Anyway, I did get some decent shots and will post some of the better ones, and some of the more interesting ones, here.

For example, the photo above. I had this great shot of zebras set up and then this waterbuck strolled into my shot. Just like people would do. As my instructor said, "You've got to be a little quicker off the mark." Indeed.
