This is really more of who I am and what I prefer to photograph nowadays.
Intimate landscapes, not macro closeups -- just a bit more artsy.

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,485 km2 in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west. The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza. Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa's first national park in 1926. To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve (the "Biosphere"). The park has nine main gates allowing entrance to the different camps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruger_National_Park

A temporary return to a genre I used to shoot almost exclusively for almost two years: not-landscape: vistas become intimate scenes of tree shape and form; colour becomes black & white; light turns to dull.
A worthy subject and style to revisit on occasion.
I posted another version (square and harsher) of this same image before but I think I much prefer this gentle version and this crop factor.

Happy Waterfall Wednesday!!!
This is a very small part of a much larger river scene....the water lever was right to get down in here and shoot this....nothing terribly exciting but I did think the triple cascade was kinda cool.

Ah, "M". A favourite model for a few years pre-covid. She was good friends with Chloe, another of my favourite models. M came to one of Chloe's sessions with me and was so taken by the process that she started modelling too. But now she's moved on to other things in life.
With time on my hands, I am learning to study nature in my garden.
The specimens were not disturbed, in fact, I doubt if they even noticed me.

Sometimes it's hard to find an image when the landscape is so overwhelming beautiful. Brutally cold and grey, I decided to find a small tree to focus on.
I get great peace when I'm alone with my camera. No pressure on myself to hurry up, or find the perfect shot. With the risk of sounding silly, I go into a very calm place. I can breathe more easily.
