Continuation: Capture Wildlife In Low Light
“Phofu Cattle”
1/4000sec – f/5,6 – ISO800 – Nikon D600 – 70-200mm f/2.8 Lens – Focal Length 70mm – Flash Did Not Fire – Manual Mode – BotswanaCattle do not fall under wildlife; however, I want to share this image with you.
I took the shot from a low angle, sitting down. I waited for the cattle to move close to me where I sat—then waited for some cattle to block the sun with their bodies to capture the reflection of the warm sun shining through the dust created by the cattle and their legs.

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.
