GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 15 to 21 September 2014

The AFRICANature brand is about high quality imagery. You don't have to be a professional photographer to produce high quality imagery, but you need to know your equipment, know your subject and know how to process your photos properly.

We are very happy with the standard of images being shared with the theme - but that also makes our choice as curators even harder. This week's selection from the +AFRICANature page on Google+ is a cute Cape Buffalo calf by +Peter Brooks.

Thanks again to everyone who is contributing to the AFRICANature theme on G+. Remember to tag your quality African wildlife and landscape photos on G+ with the hashtag #AFRICANature and also tag the +AFRICANature page so we can consider your work for resharing and a possible feature here on the blog.

We had a specified theme on this week - #AfricanWings and it was all about "Birds in Flight". Birds are incredibly graceful and beautiful, and their mechanism of flight has always enthralled man.

We recieved some amazing submissions! This photo of a hovering Pied Kingfisher was taken by Mark Needham from the USA. You can see more of his work here:

Since we posted an abstract composition last week, why not carry on that trend?
It was an OPEN THEME this past week, which means #AnythingGoes as far as photo submissions are concerned.

This lovely perspective of a leopard grooming itself with a raspy tongue was captured by Rouxlé Kriel from South Africa. You can see more of her work on her website: http://krielwildlifephoto.weebly.com/

A truckload of quality images during the past week made choosing a favourite quite and ardous task! Eventually we felt this Olive Baboon's pose was the clincher. Photo by +Penny Robartes.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 1 to 7 September 2014

It was all about Black and White photography last week on the AFRICANature Facebook Page! Our theme was #MonochromeMagic and we received some incredible submissions.

Our selection this week immediately stood out after scrolling through the submissions...it was taken by Devon Macrae. The textures, strong compositional lines and curves and overall story just make it a great photo, and it shows that eye contact isn't everything it's made out to be. You can see more of Devon's work on his website: www.devonmacrae.com

Hello fellow African nature fanatics! This specific week was an open theme on our Facebook Page - thus #AnythingGoes was the hashtag for the week.

We had some great images to wade through and our choice this week goes to the in-your-face quality of this leopard portrait captured by Anthony Goldman, a South African who lives in the USA. You can see more of his work on his WEBSITE.
