Today I'm on safari at Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa, photographing wildlife in the summer green season. It's a hot but beautiful landscape with abundant Big 5 animals.
Wildlife Photography in Africa is not about how big your lens is, there's much more to getting great shots of wildlife on safari. Most of the secret is to be observant and very patient! I share some of my tips for how to find animals to photograph. The best equipment and camera settings for use on Safari. As well as how to take creative shots of wildlife.
I make videos mostly about what I believe to be important in nature photography and for me, this is the behind the scenes story of how I get some of my shots. It's not easy to juggle between stills and video and I don't always capture video footage of the wildlife, a usable still and a piece-to-camera explaining the shot. When I do, I try to put it together to tell a story here on Youtube or to share some info that will help you to capture similar shots.

It's always difficult to pitch the information to the right level. I don't often talk about camera settings or equipment because in most cases it's possible to capture versions of the shot with different settings and different gear - there is no perfect solution. There is instead, a range of them.
I've found that this is often difficult to explain to beginners who typically want to follow a script.
Wildlife photography doesn't really have many scripts, we are confronted by a range of problems and it is experience, practice, and patience that offer the best solutions.
Beyond camera gear and settings, wildlife photography, like life, becomes a game of chance and calculated opportunity. It's this experience that I hope to share in most of my videos because this is what really makes the difference between a snapshot and a wildlife photograph.
