That Malachite is a beauty and the light creating that golden lining on the cheetah is 

 

Thanks Andrew.  Chasing that special light makes it soo much more exciting, the Cheetah images are special, that's taken on Madikwe which only have 4 Cheetah on the entire reserve [4 brothers]. Well its 5 now as they are introducing a female.

 

Never thought I would say this but I actually miss living in JHB to an extent, my photography time has taken a big drop as DBN really doesn't have much to offer.

Just a few random images.  Some done with my Nikon D800 and a few with my older D300s.  Last is just my Nikon 35mm collection, have quite a few more but love the nostalgia of them.

 

Nice collection of equipment, but you need to put that D800 to work buddy. Great camera with good dynamic range.  Just a note, watch your horizons on the seascapes, they tilting quite a bit.

sorry for flooding this page with pics. A few more, last batch for today.

Check the detail on the last pic, Malachite Kingfisher at Marievale, shot with Canon 5D3 + 400L/5.6.

Love the BSK and the backlit cheetah.

It is always special to spot one of these, even if they don't wait for the light to be just right! I suppose the secret is to have a camera at the ready all the time and to have the luck of the devil!

Love the worsies.

Nice stuff VivekB. Good application of DoF and "Thirds rule". Focus is crisp.

 

Makes the evening dinner Sony Cell pic look very plain in comparison. Still need to learn a lot more.......and get a Canon.

I've got a cracker deal in the classifieds for a new Canon camera if you are interested :-)

That's why I find good photos of them so amazing. Its so difficult just to see one, and the light is inevitably not right when you do...

I'm no expert in the slightest but i often see photos that i think are "over processed" - not in terms of photoshop but all the tricks these gurus know. But i saw this guy's work - and now I get it.
