I'm relatively new to wildlife photography and new to the forum. After shooting with the Sony A7r3 for a few years, I recently upgraded to the A1. Steve's guide was incredibly helpful for setup. We had a wonderful safari in Uganda and Kenya in August. Here are a few of my favorites.

1. Spotted Eagle Owl - Kenya
2. Pied Kingfisher - on the Nile River - Uganga
3. Mating lions - Kenya
4. Speckled Mousebirds - Uganda
5. Mountain Gorilla baby - Uganda
6. Hartlaub's Turaco - Kenya
7. Nile Crocodile and Wildebeest - Mara River Kenya
8. Ugandan Kob - Uganda

Sometimes these lose a little something embedded from Flickr, but these made 2023 special to me...
