Taken from a Micro Light whilst on a flight over the Sth Luangwa River- Zambia.
Whilst not the sharpest image, I quite like the composition and the fact that I got their attention.

Not bad but you need to get closer...much closer...much, much, nuch closer!

If you did get down there, this is one of the times where they wouldn't be interested in you, check the size of their bellies

Uh? Who was driving while you were taking the pic, they don't look like friendly cats to me

You mean, who was piloting??

They look like full kitties!

I cant believe I ate the whole thing....

Gee they blend in. It took me while to realise that it was Mum with TWO cubs.
Composition is great, but as you said shame about the focus

are those the buffalo's legs about 3m away from the carcass?

Thanks for the comments guys.
I think this is a time where VR on the 17-55 would have really helped with the engine vibration.
Here's what she looks like



And a nice shot of a Hippo pod looking like bacteria thru a microscope!

Certainly are, and a few more bits and pieces scattered around

did you bring the skin home after you shot it?

I love the hippo shot. It is a very different perspective to what you normally see.

Marc, oh so close! If that image was sharp it would be a true classic! It must have been sensational to see that as you were flying around.
