Thank you. The halo around the wings is from post-processing. I will definitely fix it.

Thank you for posting John, you captured wonderful action here. Good light in the eye, well exposed, and very sharp. I’m not sure if you croped this image like that however, if not, just a tip, always better not to zoom in so much to allow for more drama in your composition. It would have given your image the impact thats lacking here. Have a look…Read More

Hi Bruna. Thanks. I totally agree. Zoomed it would have been ideal but the whole incident happened in about 5 seconds and I was hand holding at only 1000 sec (and I’m not as steady as I used to be). So i figured my best bet was to get the shot I could and trust my 5d had the resolution to allow a crop.

Lowlight Photography: No matter how good cameras get, it can be very difficult to take high-quality photos in low light! That’s true of every camera, from a cheap phone to a high-end DSLR or mirrorless camera. Simply put, low light photography is hard. However, if you understand how your camera oporates in Manual mode, you will be able to push y…Read More

Renate and Norma were also photographers who were ready to capture the unpredictable behaviour of the same hippo, and I would love to share some of their images with you. If you are a wildlife photographer, having good habits will be vital in capturing beautiful action images, as wildlife and birds are unpredictable, and action happens without…Read More

Hunting at Sunset

Sitting at a waterhole at last light, he suddenly appeared and started walking towards a heard of impala. Very little time to get the shot and the long grass made focusing extremely tricky.

Tip – shooting into the sun

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

Nice and sharp. Great composition too! There is a slight halo effect around the wings, which seems like a post processing issue. Fix it and upload again for a feature!
