It’s hard to beat shooting in the wilds of Africa, going at it for days using subjects over which you have absolutely no control, then finally coming away with something that makes it all worthwhile!

Location: Etosha, Namibia The light levels were low so there’s a lot of fuzziness in this image. Even so it somehow captures the mood of the moment as these wonderful animals slowly approached in a long procession in this warm light.

Acrylic on canvas…... 91cms X 66cms X 7.5cms deep / A sacred-site on the Paroo river, western New South Wales – Aboriginal country taken up by farmers for a while but now returning to National Parks and desert sanctuary. Drought land, falling into disuse because of prolonged drought, overgrazing and isolation. Living here for a time to paint the waterhole/billabong, I was dazzled by a glaze of colour beyond what my eyes could see. Where the Water-snake Laid it’s Eggs – a beautiful mystical site.

Rainstorm after rainstorm over millions of years has sent water plummeting down the hard rock, wearing it away to form grooves, and chains of potholes and plunge pools. more information / http://www.ayersrockresort.com.au/geology/ The rock is sacred to the local Anunga Aborigines. / Ayers Rock is the popular English designation (named after Sir Henry Ayers, a 19th century Australian governor).

The Cry of the Curlew from a fictioninal novel but based on fact, is very involved ..In the early days of white people occupying and taking over the indigenous people’s land in outback Australia the native aboriginals were considered vermin and there was a determined effort to make them extinct, one way to do this was to poison their waterholes.;hence the two figures in the waterhole.I did this in similar way rock art is drawn, the legend is whenever there is a death the bush curlew cries I haven’t heard one, but they only cry when distressed and apparently the sound is really long mournful and once heard not forgotten. / / Pastel painting from the book Cry of the Curlew by Peter Watt / http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/w/peter-watt/cry-of-curlew.htm http://www.peterwatt.com/australia.htm About the Author Peter Watt’s life experiences have included time as a soldier, articled clerk to a solicitor, prawn trawler deckhand, builder’s labourer, pipe layer, real estate salesman, private investigator, police sergeant and adviser to the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary.

I was at a local New Forest pond and had a 400mm lens on. I tried to photograph the local bird-life and wandered around the other side of the pond. I sat there for a while just watching the life going on around the water waiting for a photo opportunity. It was very near sundown and several New Forest ponies came down the steep sides of the pond to drink. I was thinking of changing lenses for a shorter one, but I felt I’d lose the chance to photograph them when the low light was so colourful. It was a beautiful scene but didn’t last long. At least I managed to make some shots. The New Forest National Park is in Southern England and has habitats as varied as heathland plains, coniferous and deciduous woodland, bogs and marshes.

Taken at West Tsavo National Park Kenya. There is a story behind these Buffalo at the water hole. / The evening before, we turned off on a side track to go down to a waterhole. As we turned a corner, I glanced to my left and spotted a Lioness walking down the hill towards us. I rattled off a few shots, then another Lioness appeared, then TWO male Lions ! The male Lions in Tsavo, are for some reason, maneless. (There are several theories as to why !) Things got even better, as half a dozen or so cubs appeared !! We watched enthralled until it got too dark, and resolved to return at first light the next morning.We did so, and the Lions were all there, lolling around just waiting for the sun to rise. / Soon after sunrise, the females, one male Lion, and all the cubs went further up the hill to find shade under the trees.The biggest male stayed behind, and we soon found out why. There was a large herd of Buffalo approaching, and the male Lion went to work defending his Pride. There were several challenges, dust billowing from their hooves, a lot of noise, but the Lion won ! I could not get any clear shots of this sadly, since there were several bushes in the way ! However, since the Buffalo were desperate to get to the water hole, they circled and came around behind us. WHAT an amazing sound and sight, I will never forget it !! They took their drink very quickly and were soon gone. We were both dazed at what we had just witnessed , it was as in a dream ! / The water hole ? There were half a dozen Hippo’s lolling around just a few feet from us !! / Things don’t get much better than that !! Shot on a Canon EOS $)D with a Sigma 50-500 EX lens.

So I went exploring yesterday, along the train tracks. After around 20 minutes or so from where I was standing I had a good line of sight in all directions and there wasn’t really anything worth taking a photo of…until off to my left I heard this odd bird squawking “Bahhwerrfhgj” or something … / Being the curious person I am, I investigated. I crossed the train tracks and was confronted by a fence. Fences don’t scare me. Least of all waist high fences. It may be somebody’s land that they paid good money for, but it is also my land, everybody’s land. So put a fence in front of me, and I will go under, over, through it. Regardless. There could be a good photo opportunity behind that barrier and if I don’t investigate I will be lying in bed at night thinking “Damn it, what was behind that fence!” / I’m not talking residential areas here, I’m not a Ted Bundy stalker, pervert that climbs into peoples backyards looking through windows. Anyway I lifted my leg over the fence with tripod and camera in one hand and….”Zappppp!” In the first split second I felt like I’d just been kicked by a horse, when my brain clicked in and realized that wasn’t the case, I then thought I was having a heart attack. That thought passed very quickly when I realized it was the fence. / An electric fence. To keep cattle out ( or idiot photographers) Kind of a high powered one. LOL! / It scared the life outta me. After a few curse words at the fence I pushed my way through the scrub and came upon some sort of a lagoon with water birds, lilipads and all types of greenery. It was like an oasis. It was beautiful, not a sound around but the birds and a clicking from my shutter. This is one photo, from a series of that day. By the way, the fence didn’t win. I found a sweet photo opportunity :) Nikon D80 / F/11 / Curves adjustment layer
