I am a wildlife, landscape and astro photographer working in the African Safari business. I spend my time exploring the dusty roads of Africa with my Land Rover, Basil. I've been taking photographs for 40 years, first in Hong Kong, where I grew up and later to follow my dreams of a life photographing Africa. 📖CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 0:22 PRE-TRIP RESEARCH 1:54 TARGET SPECIFIC ANIMALS OR SCENES 2:47 STAY CONNECTED 3:57 COVER THE ANGLES 4:24 SPOTTED HYENA & CUB 5:24 WHAT GEAR TO TAKE? 6:48 LIGHT & SUBJECT SELECTION 7:05 CAPE LONGCLAW RIETVLEI NATURE RESERVE 7:36 APPROACHING WILDLIFE 8:25 SURICATE RIETVLEI NATURE RESERVE 8:32 SWITCH OFF! 9:21 BACKGROUNDS & LIGHT 10:13 COMPOSITION & DEPTH 11:09 FINDING WILDLIFE 11:29 BROWN SNAKE EAGLE 11:43 STOP FREQUENTLY & LISTEN 12:10 GROUND AGAMA 12:26 CAPE COBRA KGALAGADI NATIONAL PARK 12:54 USE LIVE VIEW FOR SMALL SUBJECTS 13:29 IF IT'S GOOD, STAY ON IT! 14:51 WORK WITH THE WEATHER #WildlifePhotography #SafariPhotography #NaturePhotography
