I Know!

For the first two hours of our game drives, I constantly said to my hubby “The Lighting, looking at the Lighting!” all the while hunting for a subject.

Thank you for all the lovely comments.

Always on the lookout as they walk.

Black rhino with it’s horn is a very special and rare sighting in Africa today. Once one of the most widespread and numerous rhino species in the world, the global black rhino population declined by 97 percent from 1970 to 1992. It is now acritically endangered animal due poaching. 

The park is name after the Mountain Zebra. The love the mountainous areas. They are a vulnerable species and red listed. 

I don’t often photograph birds but this past weekend I was loaned a 500mm f4 mkii. What a treat, below are some image that I managed to capture.

Totally agree Rob, it was something that was discussed in depth at a photographic indaba I attended last month. Scarry how people don’t even have to press the shutter to get an image, not sure if I like the concept either or the images that I’m seeing. But this is totally a personal point of view.

Played around with it this weekend and I’m happy with the results. I use Topaz Denoise or  sometimes DXO and when I compare I prefer the photshop Raw Denoise results.

Some nature in High Key Mono

Wow Elin, this is just so beautiful.

Beautiful landscape scenes, they work so nicely in mono.

Thanks for the pick Patrick.
