Kurt: Very intense and intensive. Brilliant compositions and PP as well. Impossible to choose a favorite - since they're all singular!I haven't added any images for awhile ... so here are a few recent photos.

Really nice Georg... and a happy new year. Looking forward to more wildlife pictures with the S2.
In which part of Africa are you?
Cheers,
Pete
Pete and Dave,A few comments about recently posted S2 Images:
Georg, nice to see the S2 used in ways not often associated with the S2. Detail is great and many of your pics are impressive. I too would like to know where in Africa? What I find most interesting and enjoy seeing is when a camera system is used in an area of photography, not normally associated with it's strengths or possibly a bit out of its element. Then its up to the photographer to make it work and even use it to some advantage over what would be conventionally used.

Happy New Year to all of you. I started 2012 early this morning. All shots with the 180, except one of the Rhino shots with the 70. The detail in some of the shots is truly awesome. It does of course help that you get close to the animals. Post processing was quick and dirty on the labtop.

Really nice captures.
One question, on focusing. Are these all autofocus? My experience with the S2 is that is shares some of the older MF AF problems, that is, finding the most detail (like foreground or background foliage) rather than the main subject. I keep nagging for "Spot Focus!!!!"
Did you have to adjust? manual focus? or did the S2 grab these for you? (and they do have good focus on main subject!)

Stunning picture!All autofocus.
Focus pretty much spot on between nose and eyes despite the irritating branches.
