Avian eye: how to take photos of birds that stand out from the flock

October 7, 2021October 4, 2021 Supertrooper 1 Comment

Composition and storytelling Whatever equipment you have (and I’ll get to that), the first thing to think about is trying to be at eye […]

Feathers fly in Norwegian wild bird reality-TV show

They have already given us a slow train to Bergen, a six-day ferry cruise on the fjords and an eight-and-a-half hour knitting epic.

Call of the Spurfowl

February 23, 2014December 23, 2019 Morkel Erasmus Leave a comment

There are very few things that affirm to you that you are in the bush and you need to wake up to go on a game drive as pleasantly as the morning call of the Swainson’s Spurfowl. This call evokes endless memories of trips to the Kruger National Park and surrounds in me, and I’m […]
