Well after almost three weeks away, it's nice to be back.
What an incredible country India is and nothing can prepare you for it! The reserves/parks are teaming with great wildlife big and small, but it can get a bit like a circus at times sadly. On the way home I thought I would kick off with the small animals like birds and deer as everyone expects to see Tigers straight away, however I can't do that
A few blades of grass in the face which I cannot remove, but then thats the shot! Hope you like it.
BTW has anyone noticed that the colours fade when using 'Save for web' in CS3. If so, any suggestions?
Understand what you mean by a circus however you and the rest of us that go on these sort of trips are what makes it so however, at the same time, they are also the reason that many species are nurtured/protected so it's a bit of a "catch 22"
As regards 'fading', make sure you have the 'convert to sRGB' option checked within the "Save for Web" options in CS3 (click on the right pointing arrow when the "Save for Web" dialog box pops up)

Know what you mean Barrie, however my point is, with 'certain' drivers they show a total disrespect to the animal by getting too close. Now that might be the 'client' making demands on the driver, but I think if you give the animal respect, they in turn will reciprocate
Sorry did not mean to get up on my 'soap box'
I will have a look at CS3 as I 'convert to sRGB before 'Save for Web' cheers.

Hi Steve,
Lovely shot of a very majestic animal! Looks like a conductive trip.

Lovely one Steve. I'm sure you will enjoy some of Botswana. The Okavango is great during November when the rest of the country is dry. Moremi is also not to be missed but Chobie can be missed. The main interest in Chobie is along the river and it's rather confined and over crowded.
My favourite place in Africa has to be the Serengeti in Tanzania. Unspoilt and few people around. You can have the world to yourself.
Sorry Lonna but you'll not get a Tiger in Botswana. Wrong continent!

Very, very nice Steve. Any shots of you playing tag with it round your vehicle? Eric
I had the same probs with CS3 so now just 'save as' and then scroll down to Jpeg-easy and no probs since
Hi Dave
This won't solve the 'flat' problem in itself as this is to do with the colorspace.
The image needs to have been converted to a colorspace of sRGB before it is posted hence when you use the 'save to web' option (which you should use to remove all the unnecessary 'crud' for web posting thus making the filesize smaller) you need to have either converted to sRGB first or more simply, check the 'convert to sRGB' box in the 'save to web' options as I mentioned in my original post

Lonna am off on the 9th May to Botswana, perhaps we might bump into each other?
