Brilliant action shot, Judy. I would love to add the story behind this remarkable image. Judy captured it in Chobe, Botswana, during one of our daily boat cruisers on the river. It was 10:30 in the morning, and we were on our way to photograph bee-eaters further down the river bank. Unaware of this hippo underneath our boat in the water, none of…Read More

Most of us experienced…Read More1 Comment-

Beautiful B&W conversion Bruno, just my opinion, have you considered cropping a little more at the bottom? maybe just underneath the knee so it doesn’t look like you amputated the legs?

Riette the B&W conversion is spot on👍 I love the bright highlights towards the background as it pops your subject perfectly. Your subject is sharp as can be👌and the crop for impact worked well.

Some of the…Read More![]()

Slow Shutter Speed Creations – Blue Light
Blue light photography happens when the sun is just a few degrees below the horizon line. At this position, the sun doesn’t directly illuminate the foreground (or your subjects). Instead, this indirect sunlight produces predominantly blue hues caused by an effect called Rayleigh scattering.![]()
