This site also documents my return to photography, one image a day, one story at a time.
Interview - Ferdy Christant (JungleDragon)
Taking pictures is only the beginning of your images story... the rest depends on you, and who sees it. I spent a long time looking for the best place to display my images, somewhere that is well organised and makes my images look good (unlike Facebook). This is where JungleDragon came in, and I must say, it is my go-to place for sharing all my wildlife images. You should all check it out! :)
This is an interview with Ferdy, the brains behind JungleDragon, and a great photographer in his own right. I hope you find it interesting.
Quick-tips - Keep trying!
When I head out into the jungle, there is no guarantee that I will see something new (less and less likely the more I go in fact), so I am constantly trying to get the best image I can of commonly sighted subjects.
Travel - Birds and Bandipur!
I led the first of my series of "Weekend Warrior" workshops this weekend taking some really great young photographers away for the weekend, leaving Bangalore early on Saturday and returning on Sunday afternoon... Sloth bears (yes plural), being one of the highlights of this trip!
My logic loop, or How I shoot wildlife
When out shooting wildlife, I have a general looping thought process for taking images, so that I am always ready for a surprise appearance, and can then make the most of each chance!
Quick-tips - Pre-visualization, planning and knowledge
I am frequently asked, “How did you get that shot?” to which I answer vaguely “time”. However, there are some very particular steps I go through in order to get my shots, and I am going to share them with you using a recent picture as an example.
Interview - Andries Alberts
I came across Andries on JungleDragon (a wildlife community website). Not only does he have some fantastic images, but some jaw-dropping wildlife stories from his time working in the wilds of Namibia!
Quick-tips - Lighting Night time Wildlife
Shooting in low light conditions is tough enough, so how can we shoot in dark? Well... bring you own light.. Any light!
