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: 20 to 26 October 2014

Our theme for this particular week on the AFRICANature Facebook Page was #AnythingGoes - and as usual the standard of submissions was very high!

The weekly pic not only represents a beautifully crafted photo, it also represents a once-in-a-lifetime sighting for the photographer and an animal that many people will never get to see, both because of its location (Ethiopia) and its conservation status (Endangered). It's an Ethiopian Wolf, photographed in the highlands of said country by Keith Connelly. Check out his Facebook Page for more of his work!

Facebook Pic of the Week: 4 to 10 August 2014

Our theme for the week on our Facebook Page was #UpCloseandPersonal, and we were looking for engaging closeups of Africa's wild creatures.

It's hard to ever see a closeup like this of the elusive Fossa - which is why we chose it. The Fossa is the apex predator on the island of Madagascar, and was made famous by the antics of the lemurs in the animated movie of the same name.

This photo was taken by Alison Buttigieg of Finland. You can see more of her work on her website: www.alisonbuttigieg.com

We didn't choose a specific theme for this particular week's sharing from our Facebook Page. A variety of landscape, bird and wildlife images made their way into the newsfeed of our followers, thanks to our amazing contributors.

Trevor Kleyn shared this unique photo of a Spotted Hyaena  lying amidst a bed of wildflowers, being closely watched by a journey of Giraffes. This scene played out in Mashatu, Botswana. You can see more of his work on his website: www.trevorkleyn.com

We had no specific theme for this past week on the AFRICANature Facebook Page, but this is the image that stood out the most...
