Wildlife park visit yesterday with new tele lens

[momcat]

Kirsten, I am absolutely speechless! The beauty of every picture is awesome! You've caught so much detail that it made me feel like I was actually there. The pictures of the birds in flight are breathtaking. Being one who loves all animals, picking a favorite is simply not possible. But I am a bit partial to the sleeping cat (a leopard perhaps?)

Even with your "mistakes" your exceptional talent with a camera is beyond question! Thank you so very much for sharing your art with us!!!

Thank you! Glad you like them. The sleeping cat, btw, is a lynx.

Thanks a lot for looking at - and commenting on my pictures! It's really amazing what a difference that lens makes. Right now, I'm a little worried as I tripped over a branch today and fell while I was holding my camera with that lens on in my hands... It didn't touch the ground, as I prefered landing on my elbow, hope that reduced the impact enough to not to do any harm...

.... I must say that I am learning from you on how to use the digital camera. Getting motion with a digital is difficult. Thanks for the lessons.

Glad I could help! If you need some advice, feel free to ask. I'll gladly help, if I can.

At the risk of repeating myself -- Kirsten your pictures always amaze me, you're an awesome photographer. Have you considered starting your own photography magazine, or art magazine, many painters would love to buy the magazines to have models on which to base a painting.

Thanks for saying that, but honestly, these things are really difficult. You cannot start anything if you don't have any money to invest. Also, there are so many really good photographers out there, so many of them far ahead of me... really, there are many things I don't know, or that I still have to learn. I still have a long way to go.
