Is it crazy that I'm still processing photos from my trip to Africa a year and a half ago? I used to process all my photos in order, but now I process them in whatever order I like. Otherwise you'd never see any new work! I just try to mix it up to keep things interesting :) This is a scene that we came across while driving between destinations in Tanzania. It was one of … [Read more...]
Zebras in the Serengeti
In Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, where the vast plains meet the sky, it first seems unlikely that there could be as many animals as I've heard about. After all, it's so flat, wouldn't I be able to see them? As I bumped along the dirt road, a warm breeze on my face, I could think only of the endless sky and endless grasses and wonder, where are they? But soon enough, as … [Read more...]

The Echo of an Acacia Tree
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of these beautiful Acacia trees at sunrise. I loved this spot in Serengeti National Park because the Acacias were so well formed and you can see the echo of more Acacias in the background. At least, I always think of it as an echo when I see something like this. I don’t usually use textures in my post processing, but once in awhile I … [Read more...]
Just a Jackal
When going on an African safari, it’s always the big animals that get all the attention. The big 5. But I was quite amused by the playful jackals that seemed to appear every time the vehicle was moving slowly. I think they were just as curious as I was. I photographed this one in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. Since they can be quick on their feet, I set my ISO up … [Read more...]
Acacia Trees at Sunrise
An iconic African landscape: acacia trees silhouetted at sunrise in Serengeti National Park Tanzania. Every day in Africa I got up in the darkness so I could be in position when the magic light awakened the animals. When it was still too dark to photograph animals, I was able to make some landscape images during the very first moments when the golden light hits the sky. … [Read more...]

Wildlife Photography in Serengeti National Park – Part 2
My favourite location in my African photo safari was Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. In Part 1 of this series I showed you one of the reasons why: the endless plains provide incredible opportunities to make minimalist images of wildlife in their environment. But I made close-up photos too. When it comes to the close-up photos, I think the most important thing is to … [Read more...]
