  • Double rainbow over Kalahari landscape

  • An Oryx emerges from the dust cloud lit by the last rays of sunlight reaching the Noddob valley floor.

  • Yet another B&W image as my IOTM. This time a high-key approach to a misty Deadvlei scene. I tried a handful of different conversions and it was the strong graphic result of the high-key version that appealed to me. A good example also that maximum detail throughout in lights and darks is not always important. I thought this to be a fitting scene for the December month; with a little imagination you see dead Christmas trees in the snow!

  • It was the fierce wind on the very top of Kgale Hill that made it feel as if it were below zero. What kept me going in this horrible cold was the sheer beauty of this dawn as well as the technical challenges imposed on me by the wind and darkness. Doesn't Gaborone City look peaceful when it is still half asleep?

  • 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.

  • 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..
