Brilliant. We used to go to South Luangwa on a regular basis as it was an easy days drive from Malawi where I lived for a while.

The Doc's rule of thirds applies here. An image is one third equipment, one third technique and one third post processing. Points 2 and 3 are cheaper than a new camera.

I dunnknow. Rule number one for me taking pictures, and the only rule, is Cartier-Bresson "modified". The rest is a learned skill. He suggested in the age of film to 'Take lots of pictures, but not too many so as to not miss the shot in between'. Now, with a high speed camera, and 20k shots RAW per 512gb scandisk, it's reduced to to "take lots of shots". Professional photographers get the great shots at sporting vents, because the finger is planted on the button of a great piece of equipment. You can't process it, if you didn't capture it.

I use to keep the camera on the dashboard and when I had an older friend with me in South America riding shotgun I told him to take some pics as we went along. It was an early 5 axis image stabilized olympus. He was into nudes back then, kind of an old perv. So, he's sitting there, trying to frame, and take a pic, repeat, etc etc etc. Finally I say "wtf are you doing??? This isn't portrait studio. Put it on burst and hammer it or you're just wasting your fucking time, I have enough memory for a million pics in the glove compartment". He got pissed and put the camera down, mumbling about proper framing and lighting.
