If you study the habits of animals and use common sense, you can capture the personality of an animal without disturbing them. ########## Bud, The wildlife exhibition at the Museum of Natural history has an image this year of an elephant taken, I think, with a 21mm lens. The animal is at its water/mud hole, spies the camera [left lying there, while the "photographer" was at a safe distance with his auto-remote] and sprays the thing with mud and water ;-) The resultant image is great, but the CLA was "terminal". Made me think of using the 15 this way, then discarded the option. Alastair Firkin, http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
