Today–well last night really–Dave Delnea released his much anticipated eBook through the Craft & Vision store. Titled Below The Horizon, Understanding Light at the Edges of Day, this eBook will get you excited about shooting when no-one’s around at first light or when most people have packed up and headed home after the sun’s gone down.

You’ve all heard it before. “Take nothing but pictures…leave nothing but footprints“. If you subscribe to this way of thinking then a socially responsible photographic safari might be for you. To tell you the truth, it wasn’t the “socially responsible” part of the trip that attracted me as much as the “photographic” part but when you get [...]

Last month on my blog I mentioned I was invited to be part of a very special project Images without Borders. This week I am chuffed to be one of the featured photographers on their website along with Craig Ferguson, an Asia-based photographer from Australia.

I am breaking into the “feel good” programming of the last few weeks with a posting on gear. If you prefer not to read my safari gear report, feel free to take a nap.

In yesterday’s post I mentioned that we made an unscheduled visit to a Maasai village; here’s the full story. The day before five of us clambered into a van best-suited for three shooters and we had had a decidedly mediocre shoot.

Pssst…want to know a little secret? Sometimes those amazing images of people taken by professionals require hard work by someone other than the photographer. Not to downplay the talent of the photographer but I never appreciated the kind of system that is sometimes needed to help create an image.

As some of you know might know, I don’t photograph people. Every aspect of shooting people I find scary or overwhelming or both. I always feel that the expectations people have of what they want to look like in a photograph can never be met.

What is it with us photographers and lone trees? When I was down in Oregon on Bryan Peterson’s workshop last fall, there was a beautiful oak tree in the middle of a field. We couldn’t contain our excitement as we lined up to shoot it with the sun behind. Fast forward to last month.

The opportunity to see the Maasai Mara from the air was just too good to pass up. We imagined floating a few hundred feet over the open plains with nothing to obstruct our view of the herds of elephants, zebras, antelope, and the like. Breathtaking, right?

This week I thought I’d post some landscapes from my trip. For the most part, I used my 70-300 mm lens but once in a while I pulled out the Sigma 10-20 mm or my kit 18-55 mm kit lens to capture the vastness of space around us. On a safari we all want to [...]

vervet monkey: mother and child This week I’m on the road again but it’s all work-related so each day I’ll be posting an image from my safari but not writing too much. I’ve always admired the work of Nick Brandt and Andy Biggs but what I now have is a new found respect for just how [...]
