  • An African Skimmer in flight above the Chobe River is back lit by the very bright sun light reflecting from the water surface.<br />
Generally as a a rule in photography one should avoid having 'blown out' areas in an image as is the case here. However, rules can be broken at times in search of creativity!

  • When shooting in rain (and in Botswana we don't get that chance too often, so I am no expert) there are basically two different approaches; one is to use a slow enough shutter speed to blur the rain drops, creating streaks, or two, to use a high shutter speed and freeze the rain drops. The first approach is the more common one. In this case, however, there was enough light due to the conditions, an incoming local storm shower in the late afternoon, resulting in a rainbow against a dark sky plus raindrops reflecting the sunlight. When a fleeting moment like that occurs you are desperate for a subject in the right place and simply have to be thankful for whatever you can find, even if it is not entirely as you had envisaged or dreamt of. Shooting in these conditions was not easy, but a few seconds later shooting was near impossible as it bucketed down..

  • This may look like an unfair battle, but believe me, it was a completely innocent one.<br />
<br />
The two rhinos 'fighting' were moving rapidly from right to left and in the original frame of them in this position the small one appearing from the dust is only half in the frame. Seeing it I immediately regretted it was not there entirely. However since I was shooting the action sequence at a high frame rate and panned with the subjects I had captured the 'content' beyond the right frame edge and decided to try and stitch that on; this is the result. Further I cropped the bottom off, which was the (bright) water of a waterhole and OOF grass in the FG, to focus all the attention on the rhinos.<br />

The image title refers to the uncertain future of this amazing animal species.
