Watch how the Canon RF 45 mm f/1.2 might just upstage your favourite lens — yea, even yours.
Prepare for serious aperture jealousy (and maybe lens-bag envy

Check out the review of the Sigma 20-200mm — the travel zoom that daringly asks, ‘Why stick to one focal length when you can have 10?’
Plus: yes, the size is real — your gym membership may thank you. liked this

Still figuring out who I am behind the lens—and loving the freedom to explore. This shot felt like a small breakthrough: well composed, creatively charged, and edited with intention in Lightroom Classic. Grateful for the space to experiment and grow.
I would love your feedback on what’s working and what could be refined.

It is such a beautiful image of the Karoo-Thrush, Renate! The exposure is spot-on, and the berries in the tree add so much interest. The background is blurred out nicely and therefore does not compete with your subject. Your image is sharp with good catchlight in the eye. For the club, crop a little more from the top to place your subject in a…Read More

It is such a lovely portrait of a Buffalo. The exposure is spot-on and the image is very sharp. The idea of darkening the background worked very well, and it adds impact. A suggestion to improve your beautiful composition would be to make the white border a lot smaller, as the thick white border distracts from your image. Well done!

Lions were scattered under trees with full bellies when the cubs started playing with the remains of the unfortunate buffalo.

What a special moment you’ve captured here! Your image is sharp where it matters most, with good light in the eyes, well done! The image is slightly overexposed, but hey, we can’t control the light in nature. A suggestion to improve your image is to crop more at the bottom to create a better balance in the frame. Although you want to show the…Read More

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.
Great Idonette! I like it. Your photo has a lot of potential and I would love the opportunity to edit it as part of the Pro Lounge reviews. For example, the shoulder further from the camera is a tad too bright and I am sure we can soften the sharp grain too. Upload it, as soon as we post the next photo critique date please!
