Start of a new week and a new month.
Having only been back in the bush for three weeks I am quite amazed at the amount of good images, both diversity and amount, that I have been able to get. Ranging from lions and other large game to landscapes and macro the photography has been great. What has made a lot of the images come to life is the varied types of light that we have had due to a lot of overcast skies. With anything from soft light to scattered beams of sunlight it has been fantastic to shoot the light. It’s one thing saying how great the light is but to actually capture the small variances created by different types of light is what makes for a real challenge when heading out into the field. Many people try. Not everybody actually get’s it right. Will be digging into this subject in more details as soon as I get the opportunity shoot two specific images I have in mind that I can use to illustrate what I mean.
For now, since it the first day of the new month, here goes with the free desktop and iPhone wallpaper downloads for March 2010. Enjoy!
March Wallpaper #1
The last few weeks we have spent a lot of time with five young cubs. Fantastic sightings and even better photo opportunities. After getting tired of being pounced on by his siblings, this youngster decided to hit the road.

As always I look forward to hearing which of the above images you prefer and end up using as your desktop or iPhone wallpaper and please feel free to share these with all your friends and family as well.
Lots of posts lined up for this week which includes a look at the use, and importance, of DOF in wildlife photography. Depending on your combination of camera, lens and distance from your subject the focal range that you have to ensure a sharp image could be as small as 5cm. When aiming your camera at a leopard from a distance of 20 meters this leaves very little room for error. In wildlife photography it is imperative to get your subject’s eyes sharp and in focus and it is sometimes a small change to your aperture that can make all the difference. If none of this makes sense make sure to check in soon.
Enjoy the wallpapers. See ya tomorrow.

First wallpaper calendar featured at designi1.com… nice pic, nice work!
Thank you – really stunning. Really inspiring to start up my computer and see God’s creation.
Thanks for you comment Ian! Hope you enjoy!
Hi Gerry
All your pictures very nice.
Your elephant is very very unique.
Thank you.
Fantastic pictures! The lion and sunset calendars are especially cool. I like the idea of a calendar on there, as it encourages you to change the picture once a month, and it frees up sidebar space for other things! Thanks!
Praises for this article, I will append this site to my bookmark, my acquaintance just stated to me about this just last week. Thanks again
