I came upon this cape buffalo herd while driving my own 4×4 for the first time in the African bush. All alone, I wondered about their fierce reputation when this small group (within a much larger herd) paused to glare at the guy with the camera. Since it was approaching dark by the time I caught up with them, and because of all the dust they were raising, I had to get out of my vehicle & set up the tripod, making me all the more nervous about it.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Please don't be shy; your words are what makes my day!
