Hadeda chicks

This Hadeda family calls our garden home. They love to sit on the garden wall in the late afternoon to preen. They do an amazing job to control the insect population as is evident from the mud on their beaks. Some people harbour ill feeling towards these birds because of their load call. I find them fascinating and they are quite…Read More

Kolmanskop is a famous ghost town in the Namib Desert of southern Namibia that rose to prominence during a 1908 diamond rush and was eventually reclaimed by the desert.
The Diamond Discovery (1908)
The town’s story began when Zacharias Lewala, a railway worker, found a “shiny stone” while shoveling sand off the tracks near Lüderitz. He gave…Read More

Filmed some Elephant collaring in Zambia

First time I properly used Photopills. Had to figure out where to position myself to be in the right spot for the moonrise just behind the Cape Recife Lighthouse. Luckily the weather played along.

Took 3 bracketed shots in anticipation of doing an HDR, but in the end it was very difficult to correctly merge them without making the moon look fake.…Read More

The Damage We Inadvertently Do in Photography

I’ve long been a believer that wildlife and landscape photography does a lot of good for wildlife by raising awareness of conservation issues. But there’s a problem that many of us don’t consider. Are you aware of what can you do to ensure your photography is doing more good than harm? There’s an old children’s story about a king who demanded the world’s biggest birthday cake. The baker made this monstrous delight and placed it in a huge box.
