What is a photo Safari?

A photo safari is a safari for individuals/groups wanting to be guided by a Professional Photographer. I take you to the best possible spots at the best time of the day, in order for you to capture those award winning shots.
For the amature, or when I am asked to, I help with camera setups, guiding you as to what ISO, F-stop,flash setting and speed to use at that particular time. Framing is also vital, and I will offer some recommendations whilst shooting.
During the miday sun & after the evening drives, we download our pics, and recommendations and evaluations are done, and the photographer of the day is chosen by the group. Basically I am there to Guide, Train, lecture and quite simply get you to produce the best possible results on the safari. On longer trips workshops are also conducted, focussing on specific themes.
