It's a combination of right equipment and being at the right place at the right time. And a right amount of luck. Good camera body and lense that works in low-light situations will help to take better shots in places like Yala. As a guide, I get plenty of field time and that also helps, because you increase the probability of encounters like this with more visits. Good luck!Amila Salgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607756343837325575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722779828036945775.post-14098544757840768492011-11-09T22:18:54.906+05:302011-11-09T22:18:54.906+05:30Hi Cham,

I don't use it anymore, as my new body gives better results. <br /><br />Your 60D should be very good. I do not know much about it.<br /><br />I shall deal with the last bit of your comment later.
