Oh wow, what a great thread, turn my head for a moment…
OK, so I recently got some work in a local mag, I didn’t expect anything for it, the magazine is not well off, they try hard to deliver local content, for the public, but times are tough. They have done stuff for me and, in return I wanted to give them something.
However, in the post a rived a token of their appreciation, just a few Dollars, but better than a kick in the pants.
I agree with most of the stuff written here…
Morsie, Aaron and the other pros, if someone asks you for it, and you deliver, then you deserve your remuneration. FULL STOP. You are pros and like everyone else has said, you can’t ask for a freebie at the body shop.For the rest of us, if we submit it, unsolicited, then we cannot expect to be remunerated for it. However, if we then get asked to do more work, then if becomes a business transaction.
My thoughts…
The materials in my rods are mined in the Gulf of Tonkin. 😉
ROTFLAMAO…………………….
But soon to be graphite, just burn them…
Hi Eric, I am in South Africa, those were shot in a private game lodge with an open fence in to the Kruger Park.
Kena is one great destination, but some of the other “back” countries also make for some awesome photo safari’s… The Concgo jumps to mind, and the Goliath Tigers there would make for some epic fishing…
Zach, Tigers up to 50lbs…
I own and love a Olympus 770, awesome pics from such a rugged P&S…
But dpreview has done a great comparison on water proof P@S’s.
Great pix Mike.
I like the tight framing on the cheetah kill and the stone olive, the light on everything, and the way you can just see the lion in the night shot – I would have shit myself as well.. ;D
The only negative I would add, is the slightly cropped feet of the pig looks a little sloppy.
My favorite shot is the Vultures..
Thanks David… the Lions were late in the evening, that was shot wide open at ISO400, I bumped the ISO up, but the shutter speed went for a ball of crap…
The pig was tough, he kept bloody moving.
I like the tree too, one of the better ones, cant wait to print it…….
Thanks Lauren, I didn’t take a photo of everything… seen most of it before and some is just plain boring… lol…
Vervet Monkeys all over the place
Baboon
Inaala’s in camp all day
Kudoo
Impala every where
Squirrels
Rhino, but they were too far away for the camera
Bush Buck
Duiker
Water buck
Crocks
Lots of birdsJust to mention what I can remember…
I would like to add this pic to the mix…
I was trying to make everything other than the face of the big female seem less intrusive, thus leaving just that bock in the middle of the pic. Creating “noise” to draw your attention to something quite.
Dont know if it worked, but was a try…
you guys make me feel like a hack.
Would you mind if I………………………………….. rolled on the floor laughing my asssss offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff………………
You, a hack, LOL…………..
Nice Henry… very nice…
See you’ve spent some time with Arno and the gang, and some time on the Vaal… and some time on the flats…
Great Photos, are yours the ones use on the Castaway’s website and marketing pics??
