GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 27 October to 3 November 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 dramatic image of a Nile Crocodile flinging its prey was taken in the Kruger National Park in South Africa by +Angelika Ritter.

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.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 13 to 19 October 2014

The theme for this specific week on our Facebook Page was #DogDays. We asked our community to show us photos of the various canid species living wild in Africa. These include:
- African Wild Dog / Painted Dog
- Ethiopian Wolf
- All kinds of Hyaenas
- All kinds of Jackals and Foxes

As usual, we received some incredible images to share with our community.

We as curator team would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the contributing photographers who make this community the success that it is!

How could we not but pick this photo which is such a unique moment brilliantly captured?
The photographer is JI de Wet and you can check out his Facebook page HERE.
