Gorgeous! We've discovered a fox in our garden this week, but he only comes in the dead of night, so I don't think we'll be able to capture him on anything other than the camera trap!

That's beautiful... Poor little mammal there about to be eaten for dinner! Owl's expression says so much, what a brilliant pic!

We love this place - we were at uni in Aberystwyth so went a few times... Didn't get anything as good as your first picture though!!

I've heard a bit about Lightroom; if it's not expensive I'll have a look and see if it's simple enough for me - thank you.

Thank you - I also use a Nikon so I'll have a look for those bits you've mentioned

Hi all, I'm looking for a recommendation of some fairly easy to use software for PP - I use a Macbook Pro with Mavericks running, so something that will work on this - and really is simple and idiot proof! I used photoshop years ago and found it really complicated. Hubby was using something...

Brilliant! So creative!

I'm probably going to end up with two more; and the 18-200 being the more 'everyday'.

I thought I'd ask the question without budget... I can always put it on the credit card and pay it off in bits!! :naughty:

I have a Nikon D5000, and a limited number of lenses. I never take them all out unless I'm specifically going to 'photograph' something, and this means I inevitably have the wrong one with me! I currently have an 18mm - 55mm which came with the camera, a 70 - 200mm and a Tamron which goes to...

Wow, look at all those cubs!

I had to share - this is my favourite pic from when we went!

Lovely - love the variety of colours in that... Note to self, get much lower down when photographing ducks!

We went in January 2011 for our honeymoon and there was loads of wildlife around - saw all of the big 5. Wasn't a photography safari, but letting you know for time of year!

Thank you - I was crouched, but the lake is below the footpath level, so I'm still looking down which is a bit of a shame! I shall have a look at what the camera settings are, as I didn't look before taking pics.
