[20 March 2007] With a new camera on hand (I bought my new dSLR kit the day before I left) I decided to head out to the Bird Park to take practice shots and get myself comfortable with the camera before I actually go on the safari. 300 shots but only 7 to show (obviously I didn't take that picture of myself). But hey, nice shots at the safari afterward! http://altanone.smugmug.com/Travel/Spring-2007-Africa-Trip/00-Test-Photos-Bird-Park-Cape/DSC1084/143464369_ABag6-Ti.jpg http://altanone.smugmug.com/gallery/2707474_Laygb/ 2007-04-13T08:46:37Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
