Just returned from a break Volunteering in Andasibe, Madagascar. A great way to enjoy a photographic expedition and give something back to the community. Observed and photographed several Lemurs and the Golden Sifaka is one of my favourites. Tracked a young one on its mothers back. Tricky...

Wonderful photo of the Coquerels Sifaka. Colours in the eye totally set this off. Well done. I ended up tracking down the pigmy kingfisher. Will upload some time. The Indri were really tricky to photograph in Andasibe - as you say, dark with lots of "focus magnets". I would definitely like to...

Great photo. Very difficult photography. The indri, as are most lemurs, are generally high up in the canopy and photographing against a bright sky creates big problems. I've just returned from this beautiful place too having spent best part of 6 weeks at Andisibe working as a volunteer. Might...

Very surreal. Love it! Can you give any details on how you created this?

First one. Real purpose in the stride. Well frozen and spot on focus.

Thanks for advice and reassurance. We're leaving via Paris mid late August too. We'll be relying on public transport or driven but based at Antasibe for a month. Then undecided at the moment but might go for a couple of internal flights. Will be staying at guest house but no idea on security...

Very eyecatching. Inspired! Thanks

Just wanting to resurrect this post - I'm in a similar situation later this year. I'll be going to Antasibe for 4 weeks followed by a week or two of touring. I'm signed up (along with the Boss and 19yr old son) for voluntary work in Antasibe Park. Evenings and weekends free to roam. Then I'm...

Agreed, Sirui well worth looking at. Quality appears spot on. not the cheapest, .. Mine came with tools to tighten up joints which worked loose after first few uses. Very pleased overall

great natural shot.

Captive American barn owl - Mollie. Broad daylight in a wildlife show. Tried to dim down to replicate dusk take off. Focus on eyes leaves leaves beak a little blurred? Thoughts appreciated? (D750 70-200N at close range)

First one really caught my eye. Great colours and balance.

Super photo. Well tracked.

I replaced my 18 to 105mm mount without any problem. Watched the youtube How to replace Bayonet mount on Nikkor 18-105 lens - YouTube "How to replace Bayonet mount on Nikkor 18-105 lens - YouTube" I watched the video a few times before and during. Quite simple and very satisfying.

Have bit the bullet. 200-500 will be arriving mid week. Thanks for all advice. Hopefully will post some reasonable images shortly...
