Some random images


Three headed Zebra

Canon 400D 50-500 sigma

To me Zebra makes the most beautiful monochrome images. They are not always the easiest animals to photograph. But the day they play along you get great shots.

I am back at Tuningi safari lodge in Madikwe game reserve. Cant wait to get out there again on Thursday. The sightings have been good the last few days go and see http://www.photo-africa.com I also do a guest post on Photo-Africa tomorrow on black and white photography so go and check it out. When I am back in full swing I will try and post image of the day and image of the week. So here it goes with a few random images.

Baby rhino on guard.

canon 400D with 50-500 sigma

Baby rhino are my favourite animals to photograph , one of the reasons are they can be so curious when mom is looking away, especially the young bulls. This one was running around in a open clearing harrassing other rhino that wanted to have a afternoon rest.

Female and youngster

Canon 400D 50-500 sigma

This is the same youngster with his mother. It is really a shame to think people shoot them for their horns.

Rhino portait

Canon 400D 50-500 sigma

This rhino was cooling down in a puddle next to Thlou dam in Madikwe. That gave me the opportunity to get this close up of his face. Rhino close-ups makes great portrait shots of these big animals. It actually shows a gentle side of these giants.

Buffalo stare

Canon 50D 70-200 f2.8 sigma

These giants are not always gentle. That is one stare you dont want to see when you are on foot in a Mopani thicket. This Image was taken In Kruger in the Mopani thickets surounding Shingwedzi.

Will update you guys soon

  1. Hi Grant,
    Yes the zebra black and white portrait are fantastic and I think you're right, they do fit well to black and white. I like your blog a lot, it is quite a change to see all these ncie shots of another part of the globe!
