New Camera for Safari

I just got back from the trip to South Africa and have spent the last 6 months or so playing about with the Nikon D60 I bought and picking the brains of anyone here who would listen!

Here's a few of the best shots I took (I took 2000+ and learned a huge amount along the way).

Thanks a lot! C&C welcome!

I dont want to saturate the thread with the photos, so is giving the link to the album the best way to show ye all the rest of them?

If so, here goes. Thanks again everyone!

I won't offer criticism but i will offer my complete jealousy. I would have loved to seen what you have seen. Well done on your expeience first of all.

With regard to the photo's i would have commented on them had you comments enabled on pix.ie :P

I like them. The Silouette is great and i'm a big fan of the cheetah shots. Well done.
