Sunrise Landscape Picture 1
About ten minutes before sunrise one morning I took this sunrise landscape picture in the Mata Mata restcamp of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. As I was leaving the abulition facilities I saw my lovely wife (not such a keen photographer...) taking pictures of this dramatic effect. I thought if she is taking pictures of it, it must be something special, and quickly joined her. This is the result. Once again, reward for getting up early... As I say so often, that is one of the greatest lessons I have learned as a nature photographer. Use the first and last light well. You simply can't get stunning photographs without stunning light. Most of your award winning photographs will be taken less than half and hour before or after sunrise or less than half an hour before or after sunset. The Kgalagadi has spectacular thunder storms with lightning during summer, but offers the nature photographer way more than just that! I can't recommend this reserve enough to serious nature photographers. The main advantages are the crisp desert air, and the open desert savannah. Not to mention the high prevalence of big cat species. Very good for award-winning photography... If you also want opportunities to take pictures like this one, why don't you visit my Africa Safaris section... Please note that my pictures are not public domain, and are all copyright protected.
