and for #300mmmonday curated by +Katherine Mann and +Mark Bottoms

I used a Canon 75-300mm IS DO USM f/something slow for this one back in 2006. I replaced this lens with a 300mm prime. I found the lens handy but almost always used it at 300mm and it seemed a titch soft at that focal length. The prime is sharp as a tack.

Wild boar on the run
This is one of the most satisfying images I made on my recent trip to Bandhavgarh National Park in central India. It is not a pretty colourful bird on a pretty branch, but a ruffian-like animal running for its life (it would seem)!
These sort of images have a limited audience, many of whom rightly prefer pretty images of nature. But to a wildlife photographer to pan and get it well is the height of satisfaction. I find it technically challenging as it needs a lot of practice to perfect! Enjoy!

I am so grateful for Google+ and all of you wonderful photographers! The daily themes keep me going back to my Lightroom catalogue and looking again, evaluating and finding some of my better photos that I haven't really considered before, or passed over when my purpose was otherwise.

Thank you for all your kind comments and the encouragement that I derive from your own work. :) +1 to you all!

I had seen her countless times in books, and in photos. I always thought her beautiful but I wasn't overwhelmed. Until I met her that day in the Louvre. She took my breath away.
