    As promised, another springbok flying past the car window and I barely managed a couple of frames...had to delete the rest:)

    Nikon D4
    Nikon 500 F4
    ISO 320
    1/2000s
    F6.3
    +0.3 EV

    No more bokkies for some time, I promise:)

    Have a fabulous evening,

    Hi little sister with the BIIIG lens , this is an amazing well timed frame.

    I would sharpen this , too , a very tiny bit for a bit more bite

    I like this one even more than your last here Gabriela, with both front legs in the air and a better dust trail makes this a winner, the RP by Andreas has taken it up a notch also.

    Oh yes - I can tell the difference, very subtle indeed but gives the subject some extra pop - very, very nice Andreas, Thank You, and I will try to replicate this, Mr. B.E. Did you sharpen it too, a bit? Looks good to me!

    Sorry, it took me fifteen minutes or so just to download this, very frustrating tonight:) Love this, once again thanks for taking the time to RP, I think the others will like it too:)

    Great to hear from you, and I must say I so enjoyed your images in Story Sequences, I have been looking at a few frames of Rosetta/Safran with Naledi the cub for the next one...will let you know when ready...

    Sleep well, chat tomorrow,

    Absolutely agree, Marc! This was supposed to be a story sequence but not enough frames to make up the story I had in mind. A few lucky shots, and glad you like them, thank you so much for viewing!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Gabriela - Another great bokkie image. I agree this is even better than the last with more kicked up dirt and a sense of movement with the folded front legs. Andreas has taken it up a notch.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Wonderful image Gabriela, I like the pose, the nicely visible eye and the details. Andreas has certainly done a good job of fine tuning it. Well done. Enjoyed watching it a lot.

    Thank you Andreas, Rachel and Sanjeev!

    Although this bokkie image was taken within seconds of the previous one posted earlier, I probably skipped a few steps in processing here When comparing the two I also felt this needed a few final touches - Andreas has done it for me and I like it now - very grateful Andreas, thank you again. Initially I was preparing a few of those frames for Story Sequences but I decided to post here instead, I love it here in the Wildlife Forum and missed you guys when I was away

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Gabriela, I see big fat barrel in front of black box. You need a 200-400 or so. Great catch of this one. I like the "springers". This one I would love to see a bit more space in front of it's nose. Rest is fine for me.

    Have a great eve

    Ciao Anette

    Anette, so glad to hear from you again

    Umm...where to put a 200-400? We take along a 200, a 300, a 500, and a macro...two bodies, converter, remote, spare batteries, chargers, flashes...one of each for me and Andre, the vehicle is full of stuff...And I love my 500, we are inseparable:) The "springers" were just luck, passers-by. I know, this flying bok needs lots of space. I should have used the 300 but at the time this happened I was busy looking at my previous images and had the 500 on my lap:)

    Thank you so much for viewing, for your thoughts,

    Warmest regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
