But you can&rsquo;t beat this for excitement. We were given bad instructions on where to look for this leopard - so out of 35 mins we spent there we spent about 5 mins actually looking at the animals. But shortly after we did spot them, this little leopard kitten stuck up it&rsquo;s little head and I grabbed a couple of pics.</p> <p>This also shows you why people use such enormous lenses for wildlife photography. This was with a long lens (500mm) <em>and</em> a 1.4x extender. And this is still a crop of only probably 40% of the image area. On a phone this leopard cub would have only been a few pixels.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-12-31-we-took-it-pretty-easy/ Mon, 31 Dec 2018 08:05:49 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-12-31-we-took-it-pretty-easy/ <p>We took it pretty easy yesterday after our early starts. We haven&rsquo;t really had time to really just relax since we left Cape Town. Aparna spotted this orchid growing in one of the bushveld trees - which we thought was pretty amazing. And just right for my 1970s 105mm lens.</p>
