  • 'Reflections of Death'-<br />
This bull giraffe died here on the shore of the Boteti River in Makgadikgadi National Park, Botswana. It is the end of October, the 'Season of Death' as I like to call it. Mostly though it is the drought combined with the heat that kills the weak and gives predators the advantage. In this case, with the river still holding water, it could impossibly have been the drought that killed this big bull giraffe. What did kill it remains a mystery. Despite the macabre nature of the scene I was interested in using the giraffe's unusual position and its reflection in a wide angle composition.

  • 'Reflections of Baines'.<br />
The inspirational clump of Baobabs on the fringe of the Kudiakam Pan complex in the Nxai Pan National Park that was immortalized by and named after famous explorer/artist Thomas Baines, cast their reflections in a seasonally flooded Kudiakam Pan. This image was the winning submission in the landscape category in the Botswana 'Images for Conservation' photo competition 2013.

  • Bull elephant crossing the Chobe River at dusk.<br />
What attracted me to photographing this beautiful serene scene were the colourful reflections on the rippled water surface. Besides that is was simply an amazing and humbling experience to be side by side with this big gentle bull elephant as it crossed the river, from the moment in stepped into the water and out on the other side.

  • When shooting a famous landmark like the Victoria Falls it is extremely difficult to create unique and different shots. One early morning shoot I was fascinated by how the sunlight struck the spray of a small isolated trickle (it was the dry season). It created a rainbow, but not a traditional arc as we normally see it; instead it appeared as continuously moving 'flames'.

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.

  • It is not an every day occurrence to see a Giant Eagle Owl wading through water! On my recent visit to the Kgalagdi Transfrontier Park I had a serious thunderstorm at night and the first thing I came across after I eagerly started my morning drive was this big bird enjoying the refreshing rain puddles. Shooting was a challenge with the light being still very low, but at least this old wise owl was not bothered by my presence and I managed to get a few images of this unique sighting.

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!
