Those people who zoom drive past a bird in a tree in a park (like the KNP) don’t know what they are missing. Sure Rollers are relatively common, like the Lilac-breasted Roller, that is. This Roller is different. It’s the first time I’ve seen a Purple Roller. I parked the car at an angle so that I could get comfortable with the cameras, idled for 30 seconds, switched off the engine after he got accustomed to us/the car. He took off after a few minutes and caught himself lunch. He then returned to the same spot and gave us a wonderful display. Next time you see a bird in the KNP, hang around a bit…

Thank you for visiting! I've been photographing since the early '80's. I started young, before the digital age. Thanks to film, every image was and still is thought out, perceived, anticipated, hand crafted. Passion is a word freely bandied about by 'togs but passion alone doesn't translate into powerful, emotive, memorable imagery.
But coupled with professionalism & experience...
Let me show you why it's worth hiring an experienced photographer!
