Oh wow, what a lucky day for you! I can imagine the joy as you slammed the brakes realising what was waiting for you. The closest that I have come to these were at sanctuaries where they help the birds of prey that got hurt. Such a lucky moment and I am glad that it waited for you to press the camera button to get the photograph!

Ever rushed out of a driver's seat slowly in order not to scare something? I slipped out there like a ghost. !LOL
Our eyes are always on the treetops and imagine how happy I was when I got an African Fish Eagle on a telephone pole. Every time I am just at the right place at the right time. We visited one of those sanctuaries once, but never returned as it is too heartsore.
It is really a heartsore. Will share some posts in the coming weeks about our visit to one. Makes for stunning photography but for the most sad and awful reasons.
So true! I know those moves. I am really jealous of the lens of yours though! The zoom on that one is unheard of and no wonder you get all of the best shots!
Yep, we came away very heartsore, and it was the same at the cheetah rehab centre. Now we don't visit there anymore. You can tag me in the posts.
It all started with my longing for a cheaper camera to get clear and big photos of the moon. I had a small PowershotSX450 and the zoom was just too short to get a bigger moon. So, when I saw the pictures that the bigger zoom of the PowershotSX650 take, I simply got one. Since then, I have upgraded to the SX70, which is smaller in bulk, but with the same zoom. I don't know if a SX75 will be made, as the talk is that Canon will stop the manufacture of the Powershots.
There is a Nikon with a similar zoom on the market, but way too expensive for me to get.
!BEER
It is incredible what they can do these days with cameras. I seriously need to upgrade someday, but for now, I am waiting a bit, checking things out. With new technology, my father always told me, to wait a bit until they sort the bugs out and then buy the newer versions with fewer problems! Soon, I will leap and make the investment.
Well, they are in a fight with the new cell phones, except for the zoom reach, as only a good camera has a good zoom. Canons and Nikes call the tune in the zoom department, unless you have millions to pay for cameras with ultra long lenses that cost more than a car !LOLZ
That is the problem right, some of these cameras and lenses cost more than a car! Or the deposit of a home. It is crazy that they can get so expensive, and the thing is we hobby photographers will never use all the fancy features that cost so much. Buying things we will never need.
Indeed, and that's why I stick with a fixed lens. Some lenses can be screwed onto it, but I don't need them for my purposes. A new thing is that I have been asked to take head shots of all of the staff on a wine farm, for their website, and I have never done that before, so it's going to be an adventure.
Luckily my camera has settings for "Portrait" photos, and let's see how it performs.
Exttra lenses are for profesionals like you !LOLZ
