Where the world saw 'nothing'; and called it 'empty'... I saw an Ocean of Air; Filled with opportunities...! - Deejay Kapil

Look for new opportunities and creative ways to portray images in a way that gives of your own personal expression. For me the best way to do this is through monochrome photography. This week I have selected images that I find really powerful for me and I hope you like them as well. Please enjoy this week’s selection of wildlife in monochrome.

Africa is a big place with huge skies and here we sat with a large buffalo herd, so I felt it necessary to try capture both.

There’s not a more impressive animal in the African landscape than that of a massive male lion and capturing one at night when they are in their element is even more so.

The fundamental act of drinking for giraffes is a very awkward affair, but I love that about them.

There’s none more committed to their partners or their young than the hornbill. While sealed inside their nest hole, the male works tirelessly to feed his family.

Leopards are elusive by nature and design, so images that have them emerging from the shadows are among my favorite to capture.

Summer thunderstorms are full of sound and mayhem at times, but on this occasion we were blessed with sunlight breaking through the clouds illuminating a cloud-burst. Beautiful in color, but more dramatic in monochrome for me.

I loved the look of anticipation as we waited for the Little Bush female to ascend this tree towards the kill above.

A huge part of the safari experience is not always the animals themselves, but in the tracking exercises that lead to their finding.

The bond between females of a pride is one that is not to be broken and even though they part from one another from time to time, they always return.

I have always loved dogs, domestic or wild, it has never mattered.
