I prepared some kind of history trip report for SafariTalk forum and found a few nice lion pictures. I was just thinking how we did take pictures without Cat-Eyes-AF 😅 It was not so easy!

That one of two brothers I have already posted as BW image.

I even don't remember anymore what for AF options we had in D700 or in D5000 series .. but somehow it did work ;-)

Some stellar shots!
Thank you very much, Steven! Yes, I had a big luck with sightings and were waiting for lions to take a pose.
I was studied commercial photography for 2 years with a lot o practice (weddings, portraits, architecture, product photography , dark room and big format cameras as a Sinar) but I had zero knowledge about wildlife photography. ZERO.
I had my shutterspeed always wrong! But perhaps my photo-school helped me in some aspect. I was able to take a few nice portraits 😅
