If you are a wildlife photographer and you were not inspired by Morkel’s guest post yesterday you need to check your pulse! The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is without a doubt a photographer’s paradise and all credit goes to Morkel for capturing some amazing images to showcase one of the truly wild place in southern Africa.

Wildlife photography is one of the more difficult types of photography out there. But it doesn’t have to be. It is all too common for someone to have a passion for both wildlife and photography which ultimately leads to wildlife photography.

I originally discovered David Lloyd’s site after ‘meeting’ him on Twitter and I am very glad I did.

Louis Psihoyos, Director of the most awarded and ultimately successful Activist Film to date ‘The Cove’ said it best for me when he exclaimed … “You are either an Activist or an Inactivist. I chose to become active”. Well, some years back I tipped into this very Active Mode when my Camera Lens no longer [...]
A name that is certainly not unfamiliar in the natural world, is “The Kalahari”. Many people, although they haven’t been there, have heard about this strange hinterland where African bushveld merges with Namib desert in a marriage that produces one of the most unique ecosystems in the world. Covering a massive 900,000 square kilometers and [...]
