Wildlife Photographic Weekend

Guests sharing their stories with us. 

During October 2018 we hosted a photographic weekend at the superb Indlovu River Lodge. Photo workshops abound these days so we wanted to do something slightly different. In this case we asked each attendant to present a talk about his or her own personal photographic journey and share some thoughts and ideas about their view on wildlife photography. What a great plan it turned out to be. WE had presentation that ranged from the Kgalagadi as a photo destination to the human element and even how to cope with social media when ones images go viral. We are already looking at 2019 dates so anyone who wish to join such a photo workshop do get in touch now to secure your space.

Below are some images from our guests.

In this pic I learnt which aperture setting to use.

Focusing on something different from the norm.

Putting all the settings together to get the pic I was looking for. 

Then, just to make sure all was in place Lauren nailed this images in the Kruger National Park on her way back home!

Barbara's thoughts: A short weekend break getting away from the city hiding away in the hide at

Indlovu River Lodge with Africa Unlocked is all one need to revive a weary city soul. The weekend was well arranged by Africa Unlocked so that one can concentrate on your photography and resting. 

Barbara shared her experiences of lions sharing her camrea at Mashatu with us. Have a look at the sequence here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEaovtM7vwM

Paul Vorster

Paul's thoughts from the weekend: If “a change is as good as a holiday” then a weekend photographic workshop in a hide is worth ten! Nothing comes even close to reviving flagging spirits like being in the bush, and watching a variety of animals visiting the watering hole through was awesome. As always there was something new to learn from Albie.

Just to echo Lauren's message - thanks everybody (and especially Willehond and Freda for organizing the weekend) for a great weekend in the bush. Just what the doctor ordered! Just loved the presentations! Can wait to see how my images of the weekend will do in the international competitions (salons/exhibitions).
