As is customary for many photographers of all genres during this time of year, I started glancing over my portfolio of work captured during the year in hopes of posting a “best of” collection. I have done so since 2010. Last year I took a very specific approach, only showing photos taken at a focal […]

Madikwe: May 2010 (Part 2)
If you missed out on the previous episode of this trip report, click HERE.Day 2We headed straight for the sighting of African Wild Dogs that was called in on the radio. When we found them they had moved from the side of the road and were staring intent…
Sleepy Eyes
I just love discovering a gem in my archives. Unlike what many people may think, I am not on safari for the better part of the year. I actually have 3-5 opportunities to go to the bush for periods of between 3 and 8 days every year, depending on leave roster at work, my Wild […]
Waterbuck Wink
I was trawling through my archives tonight, making space for new files by deleting files that are now 2+ years old that I haven’t touched yet, when I came across this photo. The species depicted is a Common Waterbuck, found throughout much of Southern Africa. The photo was taken in the Kruger National Park late […]
Sabi Sands: February 2010 (Part 4)

Sabi Sands: February 2010 (Part 1)

Big Wings
Just a quick post this time around, folks. This is from my 2010 archives (I’ve got sooo many photos still unprocessed from then until now, so every now and again I dive into the depths of the archives). I captured this photo of the Lesser Spotted Eagle in the Kruger National Park one afternoon. I […]
Sharpe’s Grysbok
I thought it apt to share a cute little antelope found in Southern Africa called the Sharpe’s Grysbok (Raphicerus sharpei). The name “Grysbok” translates directly from Afrikaans as “grey buck”, and though they’re not primarily grey of colour you can see the grey stubble coming through in its coat, as if it’s sporting the beard […]
