I am anything but a master! Just shoot away as and when and once in a while you end up with some excellent results. I shall have to wander to our local park and see if they have any water buffalos!

Nice pictures Phil, love that shot of the gazelle with the city in the background, the encroachment of mankind!

I have been revisiting some old photos I took at Lake Bogoria 8 years ago, some with an iPhone3 and some with a Nikon. The lake is a thermal lake with hot springs, but too hot for people to go swimming in. However, it is popular with Flamingoes and other bird life.
