Google+ Feature: Derek Evens

Changes in the Google+ algorithm makes it harder and harder to trace posts on our profile down to specific dates, so we decided to change the Google+ blogs to a random feature.

That way - nobody can feel that somebody else was featured in a week where they didn't post, and fairness etc etc.

The random feature will be totally random, and random in it's randomness. It will be purely based on photos shared with the #AFRICANature hashtag that caught our eyes.

This week's featured photo is by +Derek Evens - lovely take on a leopard tortoise drinking water from a puddle in the road in the Kruger National Park.

We hope you enjoyed this selection. Please do share our webpage with those who are also interested in the natural heritage of Africa!

GooglePlus Pic of the Month: December 2014

Hey friends! As stated in our last post, we decided to select a couple of photos from December 2014 to feature for the month of December, since it was a festive season month where activity and posts were lower than normal.

So, without further a due, here are our selections, aiming for variety and quality as always!

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 hope you enjoyed this selection. Please do share our webpage with those who are also interested in the natural heritage of Africa! We look forward to sharing many more amazing African moments with you in 2015...

GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 11 to 17 August 2014

How can we not share a lovely image of a species that needs as much publicity and awareness as it can muster? More than 600 rhinos have been ruthlessly butchered in South Africa this year alone to meet increasing demand from a growing middle- and upper class in Vietnam and China where the horn is used as a status drug and false medicine!

+Derek Evens captured this lovely moment somewhere in Southern Africa - location hidden for a reason obviously! You can see more of his work over on his blog: http://derekevens.wordpress.com/
