Leopard cub on a rock at Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve.
Trying to get the most out of my old camera before the new one arrives.
Shot with Cannon 60D, 70 – 300mm Lens, ISO500 at 1/800sec at f/5.6
Would love some thoughts

Jess, capturing a moment like this is truly a privilege. Your Leopard shots are strong contenders for a weekly award. However, there’s potential to enhance them significantly with some refined editing in Lightroom. I encourage you to submit all three images to our upcoming Pro Live Edit session. We’ll share the date and link in…Read More -
It was a special moment, Jessica, and you captured it well.

Young female leopard scanning the surrounds. Another amazing sighting at Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve.

I love how you got the background so soft and blurry. I’m fascinated by the white tips on the ears.

Thanks for this insight full article. I know how much you love working with the nifty-fifty and encourage students not to shy away from it.

awesome article Danie!!! very helpful..thank you.xxx

Love the article, and refresher on the nifty-fifty, Danie. The Canon EF 50mm was also my first extra lens upon your recommendation, and I haven’t regretted the purchase for one day. Thanks!

Thanks Danie. On the back of this article, I decided to get both the 35 and 50mm F2 fuji lenses and used them at an informal evening work function which I volunteered to take photos of. I ended up using both, the 50 in the afternoon and then just stuck with the 35 for the rest of the evening and was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out, especially in the low light conditions. I still have a lot to learn, but I enjoyed the experience and it open my eyes and mind to the benefits of sticking to a single focal length.

What an informative article. I have just done an informal birthday get together and used my 50mm throughout the evening although i did have a standard kit lens as a backup. I spent the entire day with my 50mm as i was so captivated with its capabilities as I am also still discovering my style. It is a wonderful lens to get you to interact with your (client) to get that perfect shot.
I must admit I am loving the challenges of this lens as I am also discovering how to approach various people with a lot more confidence than my usual shy personality.

Oats and Blueberries
Going out of my comfort zone and playing around with dark and moody for a change. It was really interesting how much work I had to do to cut down the light, especially for the background, to get the feeling I was going for.

Rosalie, congratulations on a job well done. The way you’ve manipulated depth is commendable, with the blueberries leading the viewer’s eye from the foreground to the background seamlessly. The composition is well-balanced, focusing on the three primary elements: the bowl at the forefront, the blueberries to the left, and…Read More-
Thanks Danie, that means a lot 🙂

Sharon, your photo caught my attention—I had to do a double-take to realise that the buildings were reflecting in the water. The colours, distortion, and repetitive elements captured in the reflection create a captivating visual experience. Congratulations on earning a weekly photo award!-
Thank you DPC Team. This is definitely one of my favourite captures from my trip so super stoked to get such positive feedback:-) And thank you for the award.

The scene you’ve captured is wonderful, yet the narrative at the bottom is overshadowed by the magnificent sky above. To bring more focus to your story, I recommend a 16×9 cinematic crop and reduce some of the sky to place greater emphasis on the story unfolding below. Once fixed, please repost for consideration for a Photo Award.-
Thank you DPC. I appreciate the valuable feedback. I will definitely do so.
