About jozi1

I am an amateur photographer and mostly photograph wildlife and have a special love for big cats and birds.I am self taught and have never attended a course in photography.I exclusively photograph animals in the WILD which is always challenging! I use only canon equipment and now have 7d and t3i camera`s and use canon 70-200mm f 2.8 and 100-400mm canon f 5.6 lenses.On my recent trip to Africa I rented a 500mm f 4.0 lens which was fun to use!
