+++ LATEST NEWS +++
Three out of Four of my African images got into the Semi-Finals in the prestigious International Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition 2011….YAY!! This is the first time that I have entered 😀
The Lion Photo was taken on a Canon EOS 500D with the Canon 100-400mm zoom lens. (Usually I would have used my 5DMk2, but it wasn’t working… this was the best alternative I could buy in Tanzania)
The Cheeky Monkey and Acacia Tree were both taken on my 5DMk2 (different trip), and my 100-400mm zoom lens.
All shots were taken using the support of a Safari Beanbag.
Brilliant news Sam!!!! Very well done for sure. Just goes to prove you don’t need a flash Harry setup to capture a winning image, it comes from within.
Cheers
David
Thanks so much David… I’m still smiling!
Congrats! That shot of the lion is breathtaking, and I love the acacia tree. Good luck!
Thanks a lot Eden, yes the lion is my favourite too… just love those big cats!!
great shots, especially the lion image. Well done.
Thanks so much Master Christian LOL!
I love the lion shot too… just wish I could have got out of the 4WD and given him a good ol scratch under the chin 😀
Congratulations Sam, that is wonderful! These are fantastic shots, very well done (even more amazing having heard some of the troubles you encountered on the trip). Awesome!
Hi Flemming, soooo good to hear from you! Thanks for the comments, it means a lot! It’s nice to be recognized for something that you are passionate about! Yes, it was definitely a trying journey, and getting used to a camera that seemed to have dials in all the wrong places LOL 🙂
Should try and catch up on Skype soon… the weekend?
