  • I simply love dramatic and colorful silhouettes and will not easily forego an opportunity to obtain one, even if it means sacrificing other, more guaranteed, opportunities. This one of a herd of Blue Wildebeest grazing under one of those immensely spectacular colourful Kalahari sunset skies is one of my favorites from the last rainy season, as things just all sort of came together here.

  • 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..

  • White-breasted Cormorant taking flight on the Kafue River.<br />
<br />
'Cormorant take-off'<br />
<br />
Yes, it is just a common White-breasted Cormorant! And yes technically the image is under-exposed! But that is exactly what gives the image its graphic and artistic appeal.

  • I recently commented to one of my photography buddies in reply to his remark that he wants interesting subjects to shoot, that since he is a good photographer he can create art with any animal subject, even a mouse! <br />
To illustrate my point here I remembered I was shooting some very ordinary and common ground squirrels in Khutse earlier this year. All the squirrels did was eat, but what made the scene was the abundance wild flowering Vlei Lilies. These beautiful flowers grow only for a couple of days so my timing, shortly after the first rains of the season, was perfect.

  • This image was a result from a test shoot I did recently with my new ultra-wide 11-24mm lens. Going as wide as 11mm is challenging, but also a lot of fun and it opens up many opportunities to obtain fresh perspectives of common and previously shot scenes, like this Mokolodi Lake View from amongst the reeds.

  • n summer lightning storms commonly occur in the Kalahari. Photographing them however is not that easy and conditions simply have to be a bit in your favour. In this case we were lucky to find ourselves in such a situation whereby it helped that the storm was in the distance, that it was not raining where we were, nor that there was too much wind to complicate matters even more. The only thing that disturbed us and gave us a bit of a fright was an animal on the run passing closely by in the pitch dark night.<br />
<br />
Lightning bolts are never following one another frequently enough when you are trying to capture them and also in this case I already knew that the most spectacular image would be the result of several exposures blended together.<br />
This image was created out of 6 different exposures, all 30 seconds @ f/2.8, ISO 250 and 400 for the lightning bolts and ISO 2500 for the stars.
