Showcasing the beauty of Mother Nature
I had grand plans for photography and posts this past week, but my schoolwork got me bogged down, so much so that I even missed my usual Sunday post. Now it’s nearing the end of the long weekend and the weather has cooperated to get out for a round of golf, so a quick image and then I am off. After a long winter and lots of time during the week spent at the computer, I have to have my priorities! Have a great week everyone!
Leopards are such beautiful creatures! This is Hosana, one of the leopards seen on Safari Live drives on occasion. We spotted him during our last game drive whilst staying at Chitwa Chitwa.
These two couldn’t have posed any nicer if I has asked them. A pair of young male waterbuck seen while on a game drive in South Africa. Oh, how I miss that beautiful place!
Muscle memory is already starting to kick in while I am working my way around photoshop. I was really happy to have the chance to play around with a plugin I haven’t been able to use in a long time; Tonality by MacPhun (now called Skylum Software). I know their Luminar product is supposed to have similar options as the old Creative Kit, but I really liked the speed I could fulfill my vision using the Tonality plugin, and today was no different.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead.
Spotlights can add a strange colour cast to images, and rather than tinkering for ages with colour correction, I moved this to black and white to see how it would look, and loved the result.
Wishing everyone a fantastic week!
Despite a long weekend, this image pretty much sums up how I am feeling at the moment.
Wishing everyone a positive week ahead.
I call this one “Toes and Tails”. A few close up images of lions and leopards from my last time out in the bush.
Wishing everyone a safe and healthy week ahead.
A simple giraffe to end the day.
A gentle giant to start the week.
This image is a bit of a continuation of yesterday’s Leopards at night theme.
The one difference here is this was shot under a red spotlight, whereas the images shared yesterday were either with a spotlight without a colour filter, or under natural available light. I’ll be working on some more of the images shot under red light shortly, and share them as a separate post.
I hope you enjoy – happy Monday!
