Thanks for all the comments - much appreciated. The only Warthog(s) we saw were running through the bush, or at a great distance. I only managed to snap this one as he cleared one bush running to the other. They're fast buggers though! :lol:

Thanks for the C&C's. The Leopard photo, while obstructed is one of my favourites too. Hopefully I'll get some Zebra, Giraffe and Gazelle photo's uploaded tonight. :)

I have just returned from a holiday in Kenya which included a 4 day safari. We all had a great time with only 1 small problem. My Sigma 150-500 decided to pack up on the first day of the safari. :bang: Luckily it still worked on manual, however manually focussing on moving wildlife at that...

I feel a bit out classed - but this was taken with my 50. Thanks CJS - Kenko tubes are on my Wish List. I want them even more now! :lol:

I use Sandisk Extreme 8Gb cards (class 6) in my D90 - no problems at all with them. RE the card reader - I found my old Trust card reader would not read them - possibly due to the speed; so I bought a Sandisk ImageMate All-In-One card reader (as I needed one that reads MicroSD, CF and Sony...

I have the "dummies" book to the D90 - I found it easier to read than the Nikon manual, with some useful tips as well as camera control info etc. Amazon Reviews were not too bad, and at £10 the price was OK too. The other book I considered was The Nikon D90 Companion by Ben Long - this...

I seem to be surrounded by phones at the moment as we're testing potential new handsets at work, and I've added a couple to the list that I fancy as a personal phone for "testing" purposes. So far I've tested the BlackBerry Bold 9700, Nokia E52, Nokia E72, iPhone 4, and the HTC Desire. For...

I feel intimidated by the fact you guys know more about my photo and my location in relation to the subject than I do - and you weren't even there! :lol: Thanks for the help and advice everyone - I really appreciate it. Another lesson learned :thumbs:

Good idea! :thumbs: ... ... ... It's an old image on Google Earth - but the distance is around the 55m + mark. 55 / 2 * 24 = 660 Nikon have the sensor size down as "23.6" - in camera terms do you round up to 24, or should I use 23.6 in my calculations?

Thanks Bob. Looking at the math side of things - that makes sense. I think it could be me expecting too much of it. I have looked through some other shots, and am pretty sure they were at maximum zoom, so the one above could not have been. If you add a few more metres distance and take...

I recently purchased a Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM to use with my Nikon D90 for both motorsport (MotoGP recently) and in Kenya next week. I am worried that their is either a problem with the lens, or I am not using it correctly, or that I am expecting too much from it. Stood at Club...

Open "System Preferences", choose "Displays", and then click "Colour". Open the Color pane of Displays preferences, Click Calibrate. This will open the Display Calibrator Assistant. You can also use something like SuperCal (http://www.bergdesign.com/supercal) which does something...

Thanks Scott. :thumbs:
