    Congratulations Chris van Rooyen!
    Another Carmine from the Okavango


    Another image rom my recent trip to the Okavango. I found that although difficult, the MK III managed to follow the bee-eaters in flight with reasonable success. I used centre sensor, AF Servo with expanded focus points.
