Title: ‘Wings of Fire’’
5DMk4, Tamron 70-200mm with x1.4 Converter, 1/1600 sec at F3.5, ISO 500
Conventional wisdom, when shooting Birds in Flight at sunset is to keep the sun at your back. But sometimes it pays to break the rules. I shot this straight into the setting sun hoping for a few golden highlights under the wings. Initial post proce…Read More![]()

Beautiful interaction between a leopard and her cub. Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve.

What a gorgeous shot! And such lovely backlighting, making those whiskers glow. Only suggestion from me would be to use a smaller aperture if possible (maybe f8) next time, to get both animals in pin-sharp focus. (I tend to make the same mistake, especially if I shoot in shutter priority, which is why I mention it.) But I know with wildlife, and…Read More

Hi Rosalie. Thanks so much for your feedback – really appreciate it!

I totally agree with you, Rosalie. Did you use a 70-300mm lens here? The reason why I ask is that 300mm will have a huge impact on the DOF as well.

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 -

Title: ‘Happy Hour’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm, 1/1000 sec at F5.6, ISO 100
This was taken in the early morning into a rising sun. I needed to retain enough data in the shadows to give a bit of detail hence the high shutter speed. I had taken a number of fairly boring shots when the bull decided he would come to the party and complete the c…Read More![]()
