HIGHLY COMMENDED 'African Sacred Ibis Lift-off' I went to the Strandfontein sewage works in Cape Town to practise panning and slow shutter speeds. There was a group of ibis sitting away from the pans. I had the camera set up, and as I got out of my car they all took flight simultaneously. – By Jenny Rood, Cape Town Nikon D600, Tamron 150-600mm, ISO 100, f/15, 1/40 sec
