First Roller

[Rassie]

On a safari in South Africa in 2016 this was the first acceptable picture I got of a Lilac-breasted Roller..I've had a few good ones since but this is still special for me.

Nikon D7000 with Nikkor 200-500mm F5.6

Thanks, Charlie. I had been wanting to get a picture of one of these all my life until that time. I remember when I made this shot I told myself "Gotcha! Mission accomplished". That was the first time that I was in the right place with the right equipment.

Great shot; Beautiful pose and stunning detail!

Thanks, Charlie.

Thanks, Callie. Just so you know, I don't photograph the ugly ones. Privacy and all that, you know....
