Another shot taken on 14/08/2010 with a 1996 Sigma 170-500mm f/5-6.3 APO Aspherical for Nikon.
It is not one of these new wonder lenses with VR, OS or IS Image Stabilisation.
The shot was panned by hand, no Tripod or Monopod or Gimbal.
Sometimes you just can’t beat old glass and good technique…

Lovely shot! Another great DPC Winner, shot with…a Nikon D80. Perhaps a little poetic license used? Still, very cute. WD Lonni.
Subtle Africa – Signature Category Winner – Sunsets
by Harvey G on Feb.08, 2010, under 1. Photo Competitions, Daily Awards, For Sale, Print for Sale
I took this photo in the Kruger National Park (KNP) on the way out after a week of shooting.
It had intentional dead space between the moon and silhouette barren winter trees that I hoped let the viewer wander from top to bottom experiencing the magical dusty African sky gradations at that time of year. Those colours are accurate and un-enhanced. It is by no means a definitive or formulae sunset shot, with glowing sun, reflections on water, birds in the sky across the sun etc. This is the kind of thing you see almost every winter in Africa, if the sky is cloudless.

Via Del Corso – A magnificent street shot
by Harvey G on Feb.07, 2010, under 1. Photo Competitions, Digital Photo Challenge
This image is just magnificent, and was taken by a very skilled photog, James Rose with a Nikon D90. Well done James!
I enter images occasionally on DPChallenge. It is an excellent site that pits you against extremely talented photographers. It also forces you to get out and take images based on a theme, for which you have only one week to shoot, edit and submit. Do not be misled, voting is extreme and critique can be disheartening at times. However, if you are introspective and LEARN from such critique, your photography and PP (Post Processing) skills will improve logarithmically.
Jackal Buzzard – Signature Category Winner – Wildlife
by Harvey G on Feb.04, 2010, under 1. Photo Competitions, Daily Awards, For Sale, Print for Sale
What a magnificent bird, and a new Signature Award. Maybe this is my calling, bird photography! I’m planning another photo tour to Dullstroom soon.
