Continuation: Capture Wildlife In Low Light
“Forest Flight” (Black Kite)
1/3200sec – f/4 – ISO 200 – Nikon D4 – Nikon 600mm f/4 Lens – Tripod was used – No Flash was fired – Manual Mode – Hokkaido, Japan

When photographing birds in flight, you usually have the bird against a bright sky or a dark forest, resulting in an underexposed or overexposed image. The photographer can often compensate for this adjustment during a sequence of photos by tweaking the light meter through the viewfinder as the bird moves past the different backdrops. I have underexposed slightly to create a mood.

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.
