Snapshot Serengeti Talk

Peek-A-Boo, Cameo Appearances, and PhotoBomb Shots :}

  • chalyse by chalyse

    I most enjoy the surprise photos, and find there are a good number of them, when a star performer appears unexpectedly - like this zebra running past the camera. The first-loaded frame was empty, but I always hit "play" ... second frame, also empty ... then, wham!, there it is! 😄 Would love to see more of these from others who are on safari!

    I got one of these - nothing, nothing, warthog racing through! 😄

    Sorry - I don't know how to include that image in this post, but here's a link to it:

    Cool! They sure can move... I was able to see him by clicking your username/avatar, and then checking out your collections, thanks! I dont' know how to include photos in reply-posts either, but as long as you save it to your collections, people can find them through your link next to your profile image :}

    @ ahjorth - great surprise 😃

    It's a Kori Bustard, by the way. Click on 'Looks like', 'Bird' and there it is...

    I don't think it's a Kori. Kori's have smaller eyes and feathers sticking out from behind the head. It is definitely a Bustard though, but I think it's a Black-bellied Bustard 😄

    😄 ... your descriptions make it easy to picture it! ... sounds like one I have with two near-black pics, then a giant water buffalo eye peering at me. Yikes! LOL

  • dms246 by dms246 moderator

    Heheh! I got another one - a very hesitant wildebeest who barely peeks round the edge of the picture in just one of the three images. 😃

    And I've figured out how to link to images in replies like this - just copy and paste the image id, like so:

    ASG0005ktv

    The system here seems to be set to pick up on that and create the necessary link.

    omg those are all great, and thanks dms for showing us how to link the images in replies!

    vdurand ... it took me the longest time to even see your tiny guy peeking up into the frame! lol i think i would have missed him ... i'll have to be more 'corner-to-corner' careful as i look at each photo capture 😄

    here's my latest peeker: ASG00013g7

    Grant's Gazelle mum is grazing peacefully. Meanwhile, offspring is (presumably) racing around like a mad thing. Watch the area just behind mum! 😄
