Don’t confuse buffalos with landing strips!

They use African Buffalos as landing strips and these big cows as as source of food while they remove the parasites from their skin.

Helmeted Guineafowl
Splendid representant of the guineafowl bird family, Numididae, a brightly colored bird with a bare head, can be found all around the Masai Mara National Park. Unfortunately, it is always running out of the path of the photographer. Helmeted Guineafowl (Numida meleagris, Pintade de Numidie). Kenya, September 2008.

I will be there with Alain Pons, wildlife…

Canon EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS II
After some interesting comments seen about the age of the current EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS tele-zoom from Canon (for example, in the recent test done by Chasseur d’Images), there is now an active rumour about the arrival of a real replacement. The Canon EF 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS II would no longer be a push-pull design…

Super-tele-lens at Sony
We were waiting for it, we were speaking about it, we were murmuring. Here it comes. Sony just let some information leak about their new super-tele-lens to complete an already rather rich list of good quality lenses: The Sony 70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM is described in the PDF documentation of the Sony 70-300mm f/4-5.6 G…
