Title: ‘White-Backed Vulture’’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm, 1/800 sec at F6.3 ISO 125, hand held. I deliberately under-exposed the image to give me a low ISO and high shutter speed as I was hand holding, trusting in Canon and Lightroom to recover the subject in post.

This picture dates back to October 2021. These wasps were nesting close to our backdoor and I had such fun observing them, observing their habits and photographing at the same time. This is a 2 image hand held focus stack which allowed all three the larvae to be in focus. I have decided to revisit some older work to experiment with the newer…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.

Creative Wildlife Photography;
There are many ways to create artistic wildlife images. Slowing your shutter speed down opens up a world of creative possibilities. By using Natural light can also be harnessed to produce stunning artistic effects. I’m thrilled to share a few images where I’ve dived into the realm of Photoshop’s brushes. Some of the…Read More

Slow Shutter Speed Creations – Blue Light
Blue light photography happens when the sun is just a few degrees below the horizon line. At this position, the sun doesn’t directly illuminate the foreground (or your subjects). Instead, this indirect sunlight produces predominantly blue hues caused by an effect called Rayleigh scattering.

Conventional wisdom, when shooting Birds in Flight at sunset is to keep the sun at your back. But sometimes it pays to break the rules. I shot this straight into the setting sun hoping for a few golden highlights under the wings. Initial post proce…Read More
