Photo of the Week: Five portraits of majesty

My longest lens is a 200mm. Thats not all that far compared to what many people use for animals, birds and sports. That all these shots are uncropped, and I was able to fill the frame completely should tell you just how incredibly close we were able to get to these incredible lions. I’m not […]

A couple of photos from days five and six in South Africa

Whereas Ahab’s obsession was driven by revenge, mine was driven by something much more mundane. Killer, Minke, Humpback, Sperm, Blue… I didn’t mind which I just wanted to find […]

Ritchie the Orangutan

This is Ritchie, he’s believed to be around 50 years old and he is one powerful creature. Apparently he doesn’t put in appearance all that often, so I was very lucky to see him.
