Mr. Kilpatrick my son is in kindergarden and he has been assigned to do a paper on the African Plains Elephant we would like permission frm you to use some of your pictures for his paper. In doing research I have found that your pictures are more useful than any of the others that we have looked at. he will do a poster board using your name as one of his references if you say that it is ok

Hello Jim Thanks for the compliments. South Africa is full of places for wildlife photography. The obvious starting point is Kruger National Park which is an easy 5 hr drive from Joh'burg. The private reserves offer greater chances of seeing the big cats, although there is never a guarantee. They are more expesive of course, but the lower end ones still provide good game viewing. One that I recommend is Elephant Plains in the Sabi Sand reserve near Kruger. Another is Tau, in the Madikwe reserve, abouth 4 hrs NW of Joh'burg. Once you are in Southern Africa, Botswana and Namibia also offer outstanding opportunities. You are correct in thinking that most of the shots were taken in the early morning or late evening. I do have some shots taken during the middle of the day that I value though. Regards Michael

I loved your pictures from South Africa. My wife and I are moving to Johannesburg late in June for about 3 years. I would appreciate any advice on the best places to get great animal shots. The lighting was so good in your shots, I wondered if your guides were smart enough to get into the right position or did you have to provide guidance. I presume most of the shots were taken just after dawn or just before dusk. Thanks.

Sorry to hear abouth your 300D problems. I also had a 300D that kept going dead, but it was replaced with one that has given no problems at all. The SD10 is a fine camera.

Thanks for your kind comments John. I only got home 2 days ago and am still sorting my shots - I think what I have posted so far is about 1/4 of what I will eventually post. I'm really pleased with the results from my Canon 300D - effortless iso 400 performance makes life a lot easier (plus image stabilised lens - no need for monopod, beanbag, etc). Do you intend posting your own shots as you scan them? If so, I would love to see them. There is something special about Africa. Cheers Michael

I enjoyed your South Africa pictures VERY much. I grew up in the area (Eastern Transvaal) where you took your South Africa pictures - which made me quite homesick. I have been a keen amateur photographer all my life (always used Nikons !!!) and I am in the process of digitizing approximately 7,000 Kodakcolor Kodachrome slides taken over a period of 25 years, 70% of which are pictures of animals in the wild in the Eastern Transvaal, South Africa. Best wishes to you, and my congratulations on your excellent photography. John McQuirk Indianapolis, Indiana. USA
