He looks so cute and cuddly but at 400-500 pounds, I chose to leave him be. #polarbear #sealriverheritagelodge #manitoba #wildlifephotography #nikonlove #nikonnofilter #wildlife_perfection #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifeplanet #birdsofinstagram #nikond850

Photographing wildlife is more than pointing your Photographing wildlife is more than pointing your camera and shooting. You might get lucky and capture an amazing animal doing and amazing thing. But the odds are not in your favor. During our recent trip to Namibia at Etosha National Park we witnessed a pre-mating ritual by a couple of Steenboks. I would never have known (or cared) to photograph this activity if it wasn't for our guide-supreme, Ryan. He pointed out that the male was tapping the female on the inside of her leg indicating that he was asking (ever so politely) that he was interested in mating with the cute Steenbok in front of him. We watched for awhile realizing that he was not going to get lucky. Later that day I tried the same tactic with Kathryn. Epic failure. #steenbok #Namibia #namibia #namibiatravel #namibiaphotography #natgeo #natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #photooftheday #nikond850 #etosha #wildlife #wildlifephotography

They didn't stay long as they spook easily. Finally, it was an easy decision to covert to black and white. #Namibia #namibia #namibiatravel #namibiaphotography #natgeo #natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #natgeolandscape #natgeolandscape #landscapephotography #landscapephoto #photooftheday #nikond850 #zebra #etosha #wildlife #wildlifephotography
Deadvlei in Namibia is sought out by many a photog Deadvlei in Namibia is sought out by many a photographer with its dynamic color combination of white salt pan, orange dunes, black came thorn trees and blue sky. This photo was an afterthought - I didn't give it serious consideration until I got home. Now, I think it is one of my favorites. Good thing I didn't delete a single photo! #deadvlei #deadvleinamibia #Namibia #namibia #namibiatravel #namibiaphotography #natgeo #natgeotravel #natgeoyourshot #natgeolandscape #natgeolandscape #landscape #landscapephotography #landscapephoto #photooftheday #nikond850
Silhouettes can be beautiful photographs as long t Silhouettes can be beautiful photographs as long the silhouetted item is recognizable. Unfortunately we had to be back in camp right after sunset making images of silhouetted animals nearly impossible. Luckily this giraffe (which is highly recognizable) was less than a km from the camp, allowing us to get a quick capture and sprint for the gate. #giraffe #giraffes #etosha #etoshanationalpark #etoshapark #etoshanamibia #wildlife #wildlifephotography #silhouette #silhouettes #sunsetphotography #sunset_pics #natgeoyourshot #natgeowildlife #Namibia #namibia #namibiatravel #namibiaphotography
We came across this fine young fellow late in the We came across this fine young fellow late in the day at Etosha National Park in Namibia. With the sun just below the horizon we knew had just minutes to get to our camp. Once the gates at the camp close for the night you are no longer permitted in the camp and would now be considered poachers in the park. We did not want to find out what they do to poachers. We stopped for a few clicks, listened to his story, and raced for the camp gate. We arrived as the gate was closing, not a second to spare. #etoshanationalpark #elephant #namibiaphotography #africa #instablogger #africatravel #photooftheday #natgeo #MomentoNatGeo #travel #travelphotography #natgeotravel #ourplanetdaily #wildlifephotography #wildlife_perfection #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifeplanet #nikond850 #nikonnofilter #nikonlove #yourshotphotographer #natgeoyourshot #safari
