    WILDLIFE GROUP – OCTOBER 2023 THEME: Capture Wildlife In Low Light
    “Thunder Below And Above (African Elephants)”
    1/4000sec – f/9 – ISO 2000 – Nikon D600 – Nikon 200-400mm – Flash Not Fired – Camera Support

    What are the benefits of shooting in low-light situations?

    Low light in photography refers to any scenario in which the amount of ambient light is low. It can be just before sunset, at sunrise, in the middle of an overcast day or just before a thunderstorm.

    Low light is also any wildlife photographer’s nightmare. However, if you understand your camera’s operation, you can use the opportunity to add impact; paint with light is the term we use in photography. For me, low-key lighting is a style that accentuates shadows, high contrast, and dark tones, which I genuinely enjoy, and it’s also my trademark.

About Me

Bruna Mentrup

TUTOR

I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.

Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.

I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.

My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.

My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
