The Wonder of Wildlife

Some lazy shooting around the camps site, when the roos are almost domesticated, the Burras are hunting

They are stunning shots Bob, caught with precise timing too.
What camera and lens combo are you using if you don't mind me asking?
These shots are all so very sharp.

Thanx Leo, yes, good having the camera at the ready to grab when notice something happening, Set to full auto initially with about 2-3 stops over exposed compensation to capture shadow signal rather than silhouettes against the bright sky with birds in trees, even then the sun can become a problem as in the 1st pic, i had to push the levels up some what in that one,, gotta do what you gotta do ;-)

I used a Canon full-frame 6D II for these, along with one of the sharpest lenses ever made by Canon, the 'L' series 70-200mm F2.8,
That said, it is sharp But it does suffer some Chromatic Aberrations which I eradicate with a Smart Colour Noise filter in post processing..
A Good all-round terrestrial Lens but not so with stars or astro,, better using prime lenses for night sky..

That is the beauty of digital, you can do the editing on a computer to bring the best out, back with film unless you did your own processing and had a good dark room and enlarger you got what you got.
