Hi Gavin,
An insects worst nightmare eh, nice shot could do with some USM. How was South Africa, as I'm off there in a few weeks, any tips?

Depends where you are going Tim. I was in a private game park which gave better view of the animals I think. This fella was waiting for prey outside my room when I went back after dinner one night. So it pays to keep your eyes open all the time :smile:

If you are in a private reserve by all means take a telephoto, but also take a wide angle. I got some great elephant shots with a 28mm
