And bushbuck. Because I love bushbuck.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-09-not-every-leopard-just-walks/ Thu, 09 Sep 2021 18:15:02 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-09-not-every-leopard-just-walks/ <p>Not every leopard just walks right up to your car.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-09-the-savannah-woodland-in-the/ Thu, 09 Sep 2021 18:07:46 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-09-the-savannah-woodland-in-the/ <p>The savannah woodland in the morning - also the world&rsquo;s largest land animal.</p> <p>I experimented a bit today using my Fujifilm XE1 and the fast manual focus 50mm f1.2. On full frame that&rsquo;s a 75mm focal length and roughly an f1.8 aperture in terms of depth of field wide open. I was trying to go for a bit of an old-fashioned look like if you were in the bush in the &rsquo;60s with a Pentax Spotmatic with a Takumar 85mm f1.8.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-10-07-birds-of-prey-look-at/ Wed, 07 Oct 2020 13:40:21 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-10-07-birds-of-prey-look-at/ <video controls preload="metadata" poster="17880999973811823_thumb.jpg" style="width:100%;height:auto;"> <source src="17880999973811823.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> <p>Birds of prey. Look at me getting ambitious with some amateurish cutting.</p> <p>These were all filmed in Kruger years ago. Featured birds: African Fish Eagle, the fearsome and mighty Martial Eagle, the Giant Eagle Owl (now called Verreaux’s Eagle Owl), the Bateleur - the skymaster - and the&hellip; Wahlberg’s Eagle?</p> <p>Fun fact: I know how to talk to Giant Eagle Owls. That Owl was responding to me talking to it.</p>
