Shootist Posted November 6, 2007 Share #21 Posted November 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) --yet you singled out my response to make a personal attack. Typical. No it was you that singled out my post to make some snide remark. This is typical for most of your posts. You make personal attacks with almost every one of your posts. Like I said in another thread, You are a D H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Hi Shootist, Take a look here Now, is the M8 not a wildlife camera?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Jamie Roberts Posted November 6, 2007 Share #24 Posted November 6, 2007 {snipped}though the odd emu can give a good wollop, a bit of boot scootin quietens the buggers down .......... good tucker though Iamnts, yep--I like bbq'd emu quite a bit, actually: medium rare, like ostrich. Not kidding either @ Jaap--I like the shots, though the headlights are a bit glare-y! I guess that's the problem with shooting nocturnal critters... More please!

Guest tummydoc Posted November 6, 2007 Share #25 Posted November 6, 2007 Like I said in another thread, You are a D H. ...which crude, low-class remark was deleted by the moderator BTW, so this would be your second such offence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How loud is the M8 shutter when heard from the stomach of a lion? Looks like it was a great trip. <G> Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share #33 Posted November 9, 2007 And, just in case anybody thinks these shots were taken from the protection of a closed vehicle, there was nothing between the M8 and its subject.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwelland Posted November 9, 2007 Share #35 Posted November 9, 2007 And, just in case anybody thinks these shots were taken from the protection of a closed vehicle, there was nothing between the M8 and its subject.... Oh, and a very large Land Rover & a guide with a gun, You just watch how the Lions react if you left the vehicle! It's amazing how close you can get to these predators on Safari. I've had a pride of females walk along a trail right next to me in the LR without any cares in the world. You could almost pet them (Which I obviously didn't do otherwise I'd be typing this with my stump). They don't really consider you as a threat when you are in the vehicle as they see it as a whole. Leave the vehicle and instantly you are a threat or dining opportunity Nice shots! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the vehicle and instantly you are a threat or dining opportunity Nice shots! Basically that is true, but not if you know what you are doing- I've walked a lot this Safari, as we stayed with lion-specialist Chris McBride ( author of White Lions of the Timbivati and Liontide) and his gracious wife Charlotte and we all love walking in the bush. I usually walk more than 50 % of my stay in National Parks. Vehicles are best for night-drives. The night is a whole different ball-game. Nobody in his right mind will go out on foot then.
