Special Feature Wildlife and Nature Photography By Mark Chamberlain LPSNZ
For this edition of CameraTalk, I made an open request through the PSNZ Facebook Group Page for members to share their Wildlife and Nature photographic projects, preferably in a photo essay form. For added interest, my preference was for photographs of animals “doing something” rather than just specimen type shots of, say, a stationary bird perched on a branch. Wildlife and Nature is a popular genre of photography amongst PSNZ members, and we received an overwhelming response. We feature three articles from southern Africa, two featuring the Kruger National Park. Robyn Carter LPSNZ fulfils a lifelong ambition, travelling to Africa to photograph wildlife. She explains how a safari can be done on a shoestring budget while still taking great photos. On the other hand, South African born Annemarie Clinton APSNZ shares her local expertise and a love of her native land whilst showcasing fantastic wildlife and nature photographs. Annemarie and her husband Paul can offer you a “Trip of a Lifetime on the Wild Side”, ensuring hassle-free travel and safari arrangements in South Africa with luxury accommodation, well-equipped vehicles and, importantly, local know-how and photographic expertise. Rob Vanderpoel LPSNZ contributes an exciting travelogue of a camping safari in Botswana, followed by Gorilla trekking in Uganda.
