Monochrome Monday #56

We do not remember days, we remember moments. - Cesare Pavese

There is no way better to remember moments and events than by flipping through photographs, or nowadays previewing photos on a laptop. Using a camera to capture moments that will be lost in time is priceless and that is what I love about photography.

MM01 1

A big yawn... from a big male leopard... The Mandleve male.

MM02 1

A quick grooming session between the Charleston brothers before they start moving through the night.

MM03 1

It’s always rewarding seeing a rhino, but once you start spending time with these prehistoric beasts, you can’t help but think how much longer they have out in the plains of Africa.

MM04 1

Focused and poised! A wild dog from the Toulon Pack makes its way towards an unsuspecting herd of impala.

MM05 1

I think this giraffe knew when he should stand still and pose.

MM06 1

One of my favourite birds. The Martial Eagle. Even though this one has not reached the stage with adult plumage, it still looks quite menacing.

MM07 1

One of the last photographs I took of one of the Sand River males. He was seen wondering around alone for weeks and eventually disappeared.

MM08 1

I tried something very different while processing this image in Lightroom. It works for me! Does it for you?

MM09 1

It’s always quite special to get two endangered animals in one photo. Here a male cheetah growls at some approaching White rhinos. Eventually he gave up and walked away.

MM10 1

Warthog Wallow striking a pose on a slight crest, allowing me to get a low angle.
