Thanks... Was thinking of taking the tri-pod purely for landscape stuff/long exposures.

Hi, Has anyone shopped online with Jessops since they went 'kaput'? I'm looking at buying a lens online from them. Many thanks Tom

Excellent stuff! Congratulations!! I agree....if that's not one of your best red deer stag shots then you must have some beauties hidden away there!! ;-) How did they see your image to use it? Do you have a website? did they see it on here? Did you send it off to them?

Hi Ben, Glad you had a great time! did you get the shots you hoped for? I to am going to SA on safari for my honeymoon in August...I'll be in the Shamwari Game reserve though and not the Kruger... My kit will be pretty much the same as yours...7D with 100-400....what settings did you use...

Thanks for those!! very VERY helpful indeed :thumbs:

So extension tubes are solely just to get you 'closer' to the subject?

Thanks :thumbs:

I have a canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens..... Can you/is it worth adding extension tubes to it? would it improve/help? or would the lens be better without? Thanks

What settings are best to use with a 10 stop? Am I correct in saying that on my 7D it will only give me a shutter speed of 30 seconds at it's longest, so to get a shutter speed longer than 30 seconds I would need to use the BULB function?

We get two game drives a day but defiantly going to do a walk or two as well. Think I'm going to get a 70-200mm 2.8....possibly a second hand sigma due to affordability. Thanks again for all the advice

Thanks markmce, I'll do that. What do you all think of the sigma 120-300mm 2.8 sigma? Can't afford the canon 300mm 2.8? I still think a 70-200mm 2.8 would be a good addition....? Hmmmmm

Thanks for all the advice!! Yes, the logistics surrounding the big lenses is way to much but good ideas as I'd not thought about renting kit..... Now, what settings would you use.......?

Nice shots! I went to the Kruger a couple of years back and love the place! Mrs wants to go to a 'malaria free' area though What set up did you use?

Will be going to the Shamwari private game reserve, not the size of the Kruger but pretty huge..... So my 7d with the canon L100-400mm should be sufficient enough? Don't wanna get home with regrets thinking I should of bought an additional lens... Thanks for the advice :-)

100-400mm f4.5-5.6 Worried whether I might need more focal length as can't always guarantee the wildlife being close enough, and if the wildlife is close would a 70-200mm 2.8 be an asset? Good to know about the AF with a TC attatched.
