So our best wildlife pictures come from Manuel Antonio. Manuel Antonio has some very popular beach areas and can be very crowded in certain seasons. The Temptress sets up camp on a beach. We took a morning walk or swim, came back to the ship for lunch, and then could return for an afternoon walk or swim. Quite an elaborate sand castle was built on the beach.
Wildlife photography is very difficult.
There are several obvious problems. First, they are usually far away. Second, they move a lot. Autofocus cameras seem to insist on focusing on branches rather than the object of our attention. The Mavica has the equivalent of a 500mm lens and I occasionally used the 2x converter.
