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.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-28-this-expression-reminds-me-of/ Sun, 28 Sep 2025 15:55:30 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-28-this-expression-reminds-me-of/ <p>This expression reminds me of someone. But I can’t quite think who.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-26-a-young-and-contemplative-baboon/ Fri, 26 Sep 2025 18:16:42 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-26-a-young-and-contemplative-baboon/ <p>A young and contemplative baboon.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-21-blue-eared-starling-cooling-off-in/ Sun, 21 Sep 2025 06:30:37 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-21-blue-eared-starling-cooling-off-in/ <p>Blue-Eared Starling cooling off in Lower-Sabie.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-20-meerkats-arent-the-only-mongooses/ Sat, 20 Sep 2025 16:04:44 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-09-20-meerkats-arent-the-only-mongooses/ <p>Meerkats aren’t the only mongooses that meerkat.

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.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-08-12-a-new-bird-count-begins/ Tue, 12 Aug 2025 14:54:11 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-08-12-a-new-bird-count-begins/ <p>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.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-08-03-a-little-grebe-gliding-across/ Sun, 03 Aug 2025 21:45:29 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2025-08-03-a-little-grebe-gliding-across/ <p>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.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-19-a-white-fronted-bee-eater-ill-hopefully/ Thu, 19 Sep 2024 20:39:57 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-19-a-white-fronted-bee-eater-ill-hopefully/ <p>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.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-15-from-hells-dark-heart-we/ Sun, 15 Sep 2024 09:10:31 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-15-from-hells-dark-heart-we/ <div class="swiper carousel-container"> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17858822892249210.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17858048673250821.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-button-next"></div> <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div> <div class="swiper-pagination"></div> </div> <p>From hell’s dark heart we stab at thee. The oxpeckers riding the behemoth were sold to me as a kid as being benevolent helpers clearing animals of parasites. But they are also parasites themselves. This huge flock are riding this giraffe to pick at an open wound on its back.</p> <p>It’s no good shaking them off. They just swoop back seconds later.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-12-long-and-lovely-day-goodnight/ Thu, 12 Sep 2024 21:25:19 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-12-long-and-lovely-day-goodnight/ <p>Long and lovely day. Goodnight.</p>
