Brilliant captures.. Fav is the second for the expression and light... Are these all lit by the better beamer?? Did you use nightvision to first visualise them?

Not quite sure what you mean?
The game drive vehicle's spot light is shone just to the left or right of the animal, (never in their eyes)
and this gives me enough light to acquire focus.
