I am a Wildlife Photographer. I prefer it. It’s a passion.

Perhaps I don’t get out as much as NG photog’s but hey, I do what I can when I can. This stork was spotted by my wife at 100° behind the car and high up in a tree in the KNP after we had driven past it unnoticed. She is an excellent spotter. Just as I managed to turn around and get the car parked in a suitable spot, he took off. I watched him and he circled, and came back to land a short while later on the same branch offering me a better view. There must have been 1/2 dozen other cars that just drove past, seeing a “bird” and not interested, their loss

Wooly-necks aren’t very common. It’s my first sighting of one in almost 30 years of visiting the KNP.

Subtle Africa - © HarveyG Photography

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. Shot with a Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5
