Seeing Double Krugersdorp Game Reserve, 29 March 2010, 16h19 Nikon D300, Nikon 200-400 @ 400mm, 1/400, f/4, ISO 400 ___________________________ No funny stuff here.  Overcast conditions, long focal length, large aperture, close to subject, click.  If both squirrels were in focus the image would not have been as effective  and would probably have come across [...]

A good visual image is one that grabs you. ‘This little guy is always worth another look!” This is a phrase I have heard more than a few times during the last week or so as we were doing some serious birding in Madikwe.  The afore mentioned phrase got used on more than one occasion [...]

Experimental Wildlife by Fabian Haas Now the interesting thing about Fabian’s latest images is that he drew the inspiration for these ‘experimental’ images from Nick Brandt’s work.  If you are not familiar with Nick Brandt you can check out a review I did [...]

It is all too common for someone to have a passion for both wildlife and photography which ultimately leads to wildlife photography.  The combination is beautiful and it’s almost like it was designed for each other. [...]

It’s quite strange to look through older images and then see the same composition pop up again and again. Yesterday I was looking for a specific lion image when I noticed a couple of images which looked very similar.  The two images were shot about four years apart.  Different lions, different cameras, different light but very [...]

As you have seen, and read in yesterday’s post, I change the five slideshow images at the top of the blog every month. It’s always an interesting exercise to go through my images to choose five for the slideshow.  Here are the images I chose for February and a few thoughts on each. I shot [...]

Intense Lion Portrait Madikwe Game Reserve Nikon D300, Nikon 80-200 @ 200mm, 1/60, f/2..8, ISO 1250 __________________________ This was another one of those great sighting, poor light situations.  The Kgala male, probably one of the best looking lions in the Madikwe Game Reserve, was giving us a fantastic roaring exhibition as the sun was going [...]
