Each one tells its own story - despite the difficult harsh backlit conditions.

Cool series of the action ... the kit seems to work quite well .
Nice handling of the harsh Kgalagadi light
The kit seems to work quite well

Yep - killed it - you couldn't ask for anything better to capture the really fast action. Done the trip quite a few times in the past and never had any success. Even this time the flagships we had got zip of the fast action - just could not keep up or got confused by the clutter of prey items in the foreground and lost focus on the subject.
