Africa Wild

Lovely Pre sunrise light...no shadows...this guy kept me awake the previous night at Tamboti. taken when I caught him on the access road to the camp near the junction with the H-7



One of my favorite waterholes...Bangu on the S90 before sunrise..Balule Rocks



I had stopped to look at a bird with my binos when I became aware of an unusually noisy Natal Francolin going off in the bush. Silence, then a monkey called and chattered...Must be leopard...Waited in silence for about 3 minutes and was about to start the engine and leave at the 'false alarm' Then he appeared in all his glory...The S56 isa DREAM road



Boyela windmill magic...buff stake out

I could almost touch him (that's why the pic is a bit shaken and legs cut :lol:)



A little later

Peter, your pics are absolutely amazing, what equipment do you use. I'm a bit like Lis, my camera stays on "Auto". The definition in yours is incredible.

Maybe you can give us dummies a few lessons in the photographic section

Hi iNdlovu

I use a Nikon D3S full frame FX camera for low light shooting like here and I have 2 Wild Life Lenses a Nikkor 70-200VRII f2.8 zoom which always wears a 1.4 x convertor to give me 280 f4 as my camera does not have crop factor so 200mm is 200mm and not 300mm on a crop factor camera. Then I have a big Prime the ultra sharp Nikkor 500 F4 VRII Tele lens which I seldom use with a 1.4x convertor ...only for little birds...Its the full frame sensor that adds the quality I believe matched up to great glass also helps.

By the way I shot on ISO 3200 here and I shoot AV or Aperture priority for moving subjects and manual everything when I havea stationery subject.

Mlambane Road, Aug long weekend.



Vutomi Dam last Saturday!

Just a quick one to keep the thread going. This is an old shot.
