More than 2000 rhinos have been killed since 2010, poached for their horn for the Asian market (mainly China and Vietnam) where the powdered horn is believed to have medical therapeutic properties. These claimed properties are not backed by any scientific evidence. I took this photograph of a...

This photo was taken in the Mpumalanga province in South Africa. The Three Rondavels as it is called are situated in the Blyde River Canyon. I used a Nikon D800, a 24-70mm f/2.8, a graduated filter, a sturdy tripod and a remote cable for the shutter release. Aperture: f/8 Shutter speed...

I haven't done this for quite a while. This photo was taken in the Kruger National Park, close to Satara, in South Africa. This baboon was just sitting in the bush contemplating on the congress of fellow baboons nearby. I used a Nikon D800, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 VR2 lens. Focal was at 200mm...

This is perhaps the only real test I've seen so far that attempts to clarify all these talks regarding the D800 being on par with digital Medium Format cameras: D800 vs Medium Format with Roth and Ramberg - YouTube All we can say though is that the D800 is certainly the closest 35mm DSLR to...

I posted this photograph in another thread, but this time I have done a bit of post-processing. Please let me know if this photo still has a natural feel to it, or if it looks artificial. I think it is sometimes interesting to have someone else's opinion after processing an image with...

I was testing a friend's lens at a fashion show where I live. This is the Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 VR2, a very heavy lens that needs to be permanently affixed on a monopod, but the results are incredible I think.Exif info:Camera: D700Lens: Nikkor 300mm f/2.8Exposure: 1/400Aperture: f/2.8ISO...
