Experimenting with DxO film simulations. The best I’ve seen for reproducing those looks I grew up loving. They’ve been very systematic and the results look excellent - responding to your camera’s sensor profile. This used their Ilford HP5 profile.
This expression reminds me of someone. But I can’t quite think who.
A young and contemplative baboon.
Blue-Eared Starling cooling off in Lower-Sabie.
Meerkats aren’t the only mongooses that meerkat. This slinky creature is the Yellow Mongoose.
The ever-charming plains zebra.
I’m coming to the end of another trip to Kruger. I normally post as I go but my interest in this platform is waning hard. But I’m definitely going to post a selection of my faves here for those who may enjoy them while I consider my next move with regard to sharing pictures.
A new bird count begins. As always it’s early days and we don’t see all that much. But a pair of these Levaillant’s Cisticolas did appear in front of the holes meant to entice broody kingfishers we were watching. I don’t know if I’ve photographed one before. Quite a crop though. I need to bring the teleconverter with me.
A Little Grebe gliding across the still water at Rondevlei yesterday with my old man. Not much success with photography but an absolutely perfect winter’s day in Cape Town. Warm and sunny.
A White-Fronted Bee-Eater. I’ll hopefully post a compilation for fellow bird-nerds before too long. I’ve seen some cool stuff and some that’s really new to me or photographed ok by me for the first time.
