Formidable photographic prowess
It’s fair to say that point-n-shoot compact cameras are good, but they’re not completely idiot proof. As I discovered on my recent trip to South Africa.
Thankfully, not *all* of my photos of the Rhino & Lion Park near Johannesburg were quite so, well, frigging useless.
- Some rhinos, juxtaposed with an ostrich arse
- A pair of rhinoceroses.
- Warthogs are brilliant.
- This was the best of my efforts to get a picture of a giraffe tongue.
- Giraffes are the finest animals alive.
- Sleepy tiger. Siberian, I think.
- Sleepy boy lion with 2 sleepy girl lions.
- You think I snore. You should’ve heard the racket this thing was making.
- Stripey horse.
- This was the other type of tiger. Bengal, I think.
- A tiger, in Africa?!
- The colours fade if you leave them in the sun.
One person I showed these to commented that it’s a shame that you can see the wire fences in some of them, and speaking as someone who was standing about 7 feet away from a huge muscular predator – I didn’t find the fences in the slightest bit offputting. In hindsight it’s only a shame I didn’t take a more “contexty” shot of the fences to illustrate just how token they actually were.
