Back from a week in Rotorua and I've lost count of the pics I've taken!

Here's a quick selection (I'm leaving the typical Rotorua shots of mud pools etc until I get home and can work on them a bit

)...

Best one so far:

Lucas (Little Sheepie) with some new friends:

Not a good shot at all, but you just had to be there

Love the fern Sheepie. I assume this is a macro shot?

Nice shots Leon... Must've been a thrill for Lucas to get up close to a big cat like that...

Leon

#1 is greate as is the last one, but I must comment on the clever way you've snuck a shot on with Amanda in it. Does she know?

hehe - would you believe the 12-24dx??? :shock:

Yeah, I know - not the type of lens you'd expect to use taking this type of shot. But hell, it works

Wow, the fern frond is with the 12-24??? Just goes to show one should never limit themselves to preconceived ideas with their lenses... Great detail...

That would have been an experience with that lion cub, he'll remember that for a long time... I know I would...

I've decided to come back more often than the once in four year trip this is - if only to increase my chances of some BLUE SKY!!!

nice saturation and detail

Reminds me of a millepede

Now that I've had a bit of time to review my pics and processed a couple now, this is one of my all time favourites from the trip...
