Spoonbills & Shorebirds workshop video

Check out the video above to have an idea of which beautiful birds might have a chance to photograph during the Spoonbills and Shorebirds photography workshop, next March 2014. It is a three day instructional tour with three boat rides to local rookeries of the Tampa Bay, in Florida. You will have a chance to capture the great flight photographs of Spoonbills in the very best spot in the State of Florida for this superb pink bird.

I invite you to have a look at the Bird & Wildlife Photography website as well!

Zebra Portrait

As a follow-up to my previous post here is another shot of a zebra. As we found out from our ranger, zebras are actually black with white stripes. Apparently if you were to shave a zebra it would be all black. Who knew? This photo was taken in Kapama Private Game Reserve in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Zebra Profile

Here’s one of my zebra photos from our trip to Africa last year. This photo was taken in Kapama Private Game Reserve in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

So, are zebras white with black stripes, black with white stripes, or something else entirely? Please vote, and I will make a follow-up post next week with the answer. No Googling! 🙂

Giraffe Looking Back

Here’s another one of my giraffe photos from our trip to Africa last year. This photo was taken in Kapama Private Game Reserve in Kruger National Park, South Africa. We didn’t see too many of them, but I’m quite happy with the few pictures I was able to get. I used the “rule of fours” in this shot. Ok, that’s not an actual rule, I just coincidentally ended up with ISO 400, focal length 400mm, and shutter speed 1/400. It could only have been better if my aperture was F4, but at that length, my minimum was 5.6.

Our Disappearing Cousin

JOSHUA SQUIRE’S “Our Disappearing Cousin”
The orangutan – an animal of human-like intelligence and emotion, has become a rare sight in the wild due to extreme levels of deforestation for farmland to support South-East Asia’s growing human population. For more amazing photography visit joshuasquire.wordpress.com

Giraffe Portrait

Who doesn’t love giraffes? No one, that’s who. Seriously, they are so calm and graceful, at least the ones we saw were. This photo was taken in Kapama Private Game Reserve in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Cheetah

Of the so-called ‘Big Five’ in South Africa, the one we didn’t get to see when we were there was the leopard. However, I did get to see the next best thing, which was the cheetah. Although still completely wild, the two cheetahs (they’re brothers) in Kapama Private Game Reserve are tagged so that they can be kept track of. That’s what you can just see hanging around his neck.

American Bison Bull

An American bison bull stops to observe his surroundings as he makes his way across a hill in Yellowstone National Park.

The American bison is the only species of bison living in the United States and are abundant in Yellowstone.  They tend to take their time moving across the countryside but they can run up to 30 miles per hour, making them much faster than they look.  If they feel threatened bison will attack with their horns and each year ignorant tourists try to get too close and end up getting hurt.
