2016-09-19: Monochrome Monday

20160919_Monochrome Monday.jpg
The skies of the Okavango Delta amazed me every moment I was there.  I can’t wait to return!  This view was during an afternoon game drive from Sanctuary Baines Camp, April, 2015.  1/500sec, f10, ISO 2500

Please note, I’m away for several weeks, so I have scheduled my regular Monday, Wednesday and Friday posts in advance. I will moderate and respond to any comments just as soon as I am able.

I am hoping to be taking loads of photos, so if you would like to follow along, please feel free to give my page a like on Facebook @jennifersawickyphotography and a follow over on Instagram at jensawicky.

2016-06-19: Artistic Impressions

This week we have had some truly awful weather (I heard it referred to as Junuary, and that was pretty appropriate since the high one day was 6C with 60+mm of rain) and as such, I haven’t been out with the camera much.  So, I thought I would share a few of the photos I call my ‘Artistic Impressions”.  Generally, I like to keep colour photos as true to life as I can remember, and take my liberties with monochrome edits to highlights the subject to it’s best advantage.  Sometimes though, a photo seems to be asking for more, and I take it (for me) to an over the top place.  I’ve been having some fun recently doing more of these artistic edits, and thought I would share a few today, since I don’t have anything else.

Have a great week everyone!

My sunset shot in the Sabi Sands got photobombed by a dragonfly.

An interesting afternoon in the Sabi Sands, the skies built and a fantastic electrical storm followed about an hour after this.

Dead Vlei in Namibia; reducing the saturation really made the footprints in the dunes stand out.

While staying in the Okavango Delta last April, the lodge had to send a spare vehicle along with the guide that picked us up at the airstrip… the rapidly rising water levels meant that the luggage needed to be placed up on the seats to avoid going for a swim

2016-05-29: All About the Light

It’s been a slow week for photos on my daily walks; and I had planned to spend some time photographing the hummingbirds this weekend, but yesterday slipped away from me, and today is completely miserable.  So, it was into my archive of photos to edit instead.

The following are a pretty random group of photos,the only real common element being lovely light.

I hope you enjoy!

A leopard in the Okavango Delta in bright, early morning light. I love the glow of the long grasses framing the leopard.

A lone giraffe traverses through the low, scrubby brush at Phinda Game Reserve.

A pair of springbok near Sossusvlei, Namibia. I think the glow of the sun provides an interesting outline to the pair.

I don’t quite know what it is about this photo, but I really like it.
