Weavers
I haven't been doing my Africa posts in chronological order, so once I have finished them all I will make a post with the links to them in order. This…
Always have a camera handy
While it's not practical to carry a bulky camera with you everywhere, when going on photo-outings, Dad and I will strap our cameras into the back seat of the car…
Table Mountain
I used to be petrified of heights. Perhaps it’s a because I’m small, but I used to fear that I’d be blown off of cliffs/mountains/high places. After discovering that I…
Keeping Going – Photography during the semester
We're taking a little break from the South Africa blogs this weekend, as University is currently draining a lot of my time. Next week (hopefully!) we'll be back with more…
Two Oceans Aquarium
I love aquariums. They have fascinated and delighted me for as long as I can remember. So I'll jump at any opportunity to visit one. I don't actually remember the last…
Animals and Habitats
I love taking detailed, close-up images of wildlife. I love gorgeous, pin-sharp feather-detail on birds, and adore photographs with a single focus and soft backgrounds. Which is why I like…
subaruforester.org Calendar Competition
I'm a predominantly a wildlife photographer. I do enjoy experimenting with other things though, dabbling in a bit of portraiture, landscape, and even automobile photography. Chris is fond of his…

We were mainly chasing birds, so check out Facebook and G+ for some of the photos we got!
Caught in the rain – Storm in the Midlands
Today is a little bit different. While we were staying in the Midlands, we had pretty regular afternoon storms. Dad and I were down at the Large Dam taking photos…
Betty’s Bay Penguin Colony
Betty's Bay (Bettysbaai), in the Western Cape, has it's own penguin colony, situated on much rockier terrain than Boulders Beach. Instead of shallow sandy beaches, there's a quick drop-off into…
Frustrating Days – Malachite Sunbirds
UPDATE: Here's Dad's account of the day! Sometimes you have a beautiful stage, but no players. Sometimes you see a beautiful photo, far away, and when you get there it…
The Penguins of Boulders Beach
Africa is not typically thought of for its Penguin population. Near Cape Town, at a place called Boulders Beach, is a large colony of African Penguins (Spheniscus demersus). They nest…
Sitting Still
After a month overseas I have a slew of photos to go through, cull the bad ones and process the good ones. Since my days are filled with other important…
Snapseed for photo-editing
The problem with heavy lenses is that they really fill up your hand-luggage when travelling overseas, but are a must for photographing birds. Because of this, I hardly ever travel…
