Hi Ben,

A lot of lovely photo's, are you using telephoto lens or were you able to get up close and personal?? Your Dad looks very happy with the result of the hunt and a very good specimen to boot.

Cheers Mate,

Jeff

Nope, not a telephoto lens. Some photos were fairly close, but others were further-away and were able to be cropped (zoomed-in) due to a good amount of mega-pixels to work with. Yep, that day when Dad got that bull is a really good memory. Thanks, Ben

Yeah, Mike, it might've been about 14 or 15 degrees Celsius.

Nothing fancy, Mog. Just a Fujifilm something-or-other for some, a little Sony Sureshot for others, and also a little Canon something-or-other. The Fujifilm was a little larger, but the other two fit into a pocket. They're not expensive cameras, all under a grand. I think the Fujifilm (long dead) was a whopping 3.2MP, whereas the other two are 6 and 7MP.
