The use of long exposures in landscape photography has the ability to add an ethereal feel to the image that uplifts the mood and overall feel of that image.

Sometimes it just isn’t possible to capture everything in a single shot. Using multiple shots with different settings can help achieve a cleaner image with a better dynamic range.

#photographygoals This is already an extraordinary picture, but hearing the story behind capturing this just moved it into a different category. Thanks for sharing, Jon.

Thanks for the session last night Jon. Really informative. I often shoot starscapes in the bush but it is a problem to do extremely long exposures as it is not a good idea to stand quietly in the dark for 40 minutes, particularly if there are lions about
. I usually take the foreground shot before it gets totally dark and then expose for the stars…Read More

Incorporating creatures that inhabit the local environment into your landscape images is a powerful way to tell a greater story about the landscape, and envoke an emotional repsonse your audience.

Capturing moving subjects in landscapes in low light is never easy, but with the right settings and a gentle hand in post-processing you can get magic results.

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.
Stunning lowlight image, John! Thank you for contributing to our October theme. Your choice of settings shows me that you are indeed in complete control of your camera, and you fully understand your subject’s behaviour. Two key points when it comes to photographing birds in low light. I particularly enjoy the fact that you framed the Heron with…Read More
