A visit to Kenya’s Masai Mara is a destination that I am sure is on the bucket list of many people, most of whom are probably photographers. I had the awesome opportunity to visit this wonderful part of the world this year. I was hoping for more predator action but wildlife is unpredictable. I was […]
The giants castle vulture hide was a bit more tricky than I expected. This is a record of my experience in Jan 2015. Others may have had a different experience. First of all it is a long wait. You have to arrive at around 5-6pm and wait. First arrivals are around 9/10am. Vultures cross over […]
It has been over a decade since the original pump action 100-400 Mk1 which was announced in September 1998. This veteran of wildlife lenses has finally seen a replacement in 2014 !!! The new version is quite impressive. It comes with a hefty price tag in this category but it delivers. My initial impressions have been extremely […]
Finding lions in the game park is always a treat. It is even better when those are clear sightings with a pride of lion. After many years of visiting our National parks I finally had a sighting that was worthy of mention. It also gave me a chance to put the 7Dmk2 and 100-400Mk2 combination to […]

Reports indicated that the 7DMK2 was the highest pre-ordered Canon body in the UK. Not surprising given the 5 year gap between the mk1 and mk2 versions. For my part I am comfortable […]

It was great getting out this morning allbeit a bite late. Packed the family in and headed off to the river mouth to capture some birds. We were a bit late for the morning activity but I managed to capture a few moments. It took quite a bit of patience on everyone’s part.
Often when making trips to the game reserves we focus mainly on the large mammals. In the breaks when you walk around the picnic areas or view sites keep a look out for the little critters. You will be surprised at what you will find. On a recent trip I discovered a tree frog , […]
HDR Photography has always fascinated me, but it does take quite a bit of time to put the images together not to mention the fact that you end up with 3 source images at least. The built in HDR functionality on the 5D MK3 has solved this quite nicely. It is now possible to capture […]
