Facebook Pic of the Week: 3 to 9 November 2014

During this week on our Facebook Page, it was an open theme again - #AnythingGoes

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 photo of a pair of endangered Painted Dogs playing in last light in Mana Pools, Zimbabwe, stole the show. It was taken by Carole Deschuymere - and you can check out her website here: www.carole-wildlife.com

Facebook Pic of the Week: 28 July to 3 August 2014

During this particular week we had a theme on our Facebook Page that resulted in many awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping photo submissions. We will share our 2 favourites with you today...

The them was titled #PureGold and it was all about photos taken during the "golden hour" - the hour after dawn and the hour before sunset, when the light in Africa is purely sublime.

Our first selection is an absolutely stunning image of a lioness at first light in the Masai Mara (Kenya), with her steamy breath forming a mist around her head. It was taken by Richard Peters from the UK, and you can see more of his amazing work on his website: www.richardpeters.co.uk

Our second selection shows that it's not all wildlife in our community - we've seen some amazing landscape photos every week, and this photo taken from the air using an open-door helicopter shows the Namib desert in Namibia in all its glory. The photographer is James Gradwell from Cape Town, and you can check out his website here: www.photographytours.co.za

Facebook Pic of the Week: 7 to 13 July 2014

After a couple of interesting themes on our Facebook Page, we went back to an OPEN THEME (anything goes, actually) for this particular week.

This photo of a Kalahari cheetah in intense golden light stood out to us. The photographer is Keith Connelly, who is a safari guide based in the Timbavati Game Reserve, and you can see more of his work here: www.500px.com/Keith-Connelly
