  • '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.

  • '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.

  • 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.

  • The far Eastern corner of Botswana is very different from the rest of the country and one of the main attractions is the beautiful Limpopo river, which forms the border between Botswana and South Africa. The riverine forests with its mighty trees had me fascinated.

  • With the Holiday season just around the corner I figured I shall bring you in the mood with a glorious coastal scene from one of the best spots in South Africa for a break; Cape Town. <br />
<br />
To me it is surprising how calm this 25 seconds long exposure appears, whereas in fact the wind was blowing with a gale-force, continuously blasting me and my camera with sand. The conditions made this image therefore a rather difficult one to create, but looking at the result I am glad I did go out on that beach to face the elements and conquer them.<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 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'.
