End of the rains
April 15, 2010
The sky is clear and there is a definite chill in the air today which means the dry season is on its way – it always amazes me just how quickly the safari season comes around again each year. The rains are a quieter time for me in terms of actual photography and I spend an huge amount of my time sitting in front of a computer. I am really looking forward to getting back into the bush and behind the camera again..

Aerial photographs
December 9, 2008
Here are a couple of images that I shot on a recent flight in John Coppinger’s microlight. Not particularly outstanding but I really enjoy the different perspective that shooting from the air gives – although it can be challenging getting sharp pictures when you are skimming along so close to the ground! The first picture is of a herd of Puku antelope and the second a pod of Hippos – fairly obvious… I am hoping to do some more aerial photography when I return to the valley in January and the vegetation is lush and green again.

Impala alien!
November 26, 2007
The Impala have been dropping their young for a couple of weeks now. They are quite difficult to photograph, at least in this area, as they are very nervous and run away as soon as they hear my vehicle. I came across this little guy very early this morning and even though his mum ran off he stood there and looked at me for a full minute before following her. Can’t decide if he is cute or ugly – definitely weird looking though!

Fight!!
September 15, 2007
Two Impala rams having a vicious fight. They were so engrossed in impaling each other that they didn’t notice we were nearby and nearly ran into the vehicle!
