Flamingos

Africa is a wildlife photographers paradise. The popular ‘Big Five’, the big cats, other quintessentially African large animals such as the hippo, giraffe, kudu, wildebeest and zebra, are all frequently seen in South Africa's conservation areas. Despite this gift in our magnificent country, I have been reluctant to really get into wildlife photography. I have no doubt that once ‘bitten’ , I’ll become obsessive about the subject. The rare presence of a few flamingos at a dam literally on my doorstep made me venture out with a few members of our local photo club to grab some pics at sunrise this morning.
