The last time I was in that vicinity was about 2 years ago when we had a famdamily exodus (total 11 persons including visiting UK rellies and various hangers-on) to the Sun City Holiday Club. The only good thing about Sun City is that Pilanesberg is next door.

I think you are getting confused with the Bug-Blatter Beast of Traal - no, wait, that was "If you can't see it, it can't see you" :-)

The advice was meant for those who wish to improve their photography, not for iPhone picture snappers. ^0^

If you want to take birds in flight, you need to practice panning which can be difficult to master.

I seemed to have done a better job just when I got my camera.... nowadays I really battle to them unblurred.. -O -O
Thanks Amoli, keep practicing the panning, it will get better.

=O: =O: =O: only half way round the tree... that's a bargain BT, they usually either keep going around, up the tree or run away for me 0*\
They can be frustrating, that's what usually happens to me!
