We went searching for Jackalberry early one morning as he was spotted with a kill in a tree. After scanning the tree extensively and seeing only the remains of an unlucky impala, I noticed this gorgeous, large face staring at us from the dark…Read More

Wow Landie, this is such an amazing image
I particularly enjoy your composition with your subject looking out of the frame allowing negative space to the right to include the environment. Beautiful side light, warm tones, and water droplets dripping down, add so much impact. Thank you for contributing towards our October wildlife low-light posts. -
Thank you Bruna! This image made it to the Top 10 in die Admired in Africa Awards in 2019. On the day I took the photo – this made us VERY LATE for the gate. Totally worth it though.

Thanks for sharing, Landie. We love the gorgeous lighting and nuanced contrasts! This isn’t the Photo Critique Group, but we’re curious: why did you set the aperture to f/29? At f/11 or f/16, for instance, the picture would have remained tack-sharp and allowed for a lower ISO. This would have provided better quality, especially if you plan to…Read More

To be honest – it was a panic choice. As we arrived at Mapungubwe, my wildlife lens decided it is no longer focussing automatically. So I had to manually focus and it just made me photo-panic…. A good lesson to check equipment before trips.

Just a heads-up, we noticed that you are posting your images in both the Wildlife Group and on your Profile. The good news is that there’s no need to post your images in both places. Simply post in the Group, and it will automatically appear on your Profile.

It’s no secret that wildlife and nature photography is a male-dominated area. More men enter wildlife photography competitions and more men win. The first female winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the year was in 1…Read More

Landie, I was taken aback to hear about the discrimination you faced, especially in a field that should ideally be free from gender bias. Women have every right to engage in wildlife photography just as much as men do. There’s no reason why you should back off or limit your subject matter based on outdated expectations.
Your work is a compelling…Read More

Thank you Danie. I was quite shocked at the time.
I feel this is in the same category as a lion on a kill or a leopard in a tree with a kill. But it was not received with the same awe for raw nature. Perhaps because baboons are not viewed as hunters?Understandably people won’t print this as A0 and hang it on a wall. But just viewing the m…Read More

Landie, as a female wildlife photographer, I totally understand where you are coming from. The reason why we are wildlife photographers is because we are the voices in the wild. We are blessed with witnessing a moment and share it with someone not so fortunate…We tell the story, it’s got nothing to do with gender👍

Thank you for posting Landie. He is beautiful, and you handled your exposure very well; however, the eyes are slightly soft. Please just remember to focus on one of the eyes of the Leopard. That way, both eyes will be sharp.
