Facebook Pic of the Week: 27 July to 2 August 2015

We stuck with an open them for the week of 27 July to 2 August 2015.
The variety and quality of images received for our #AnythingGoes theme is usually very high.

This young Spotted Hyena moving along with a meal in its mouth, expertly captured using a slow shutter speed, caught our eyes. The photographer is Rouxlé Jooste, and you can check out her Facebook page HERE.

Facebook Pic of the Week: 21 to 27 July 2014

The theme for this specific week on our Facebook Page was all about those lumpy Hippopotamus. The hashtag was #HippieHippos (just cause it's quirky) and we received (as usual) a great deal of high quality photographic submissions.

One image stood head and shoulders above the rest for its creativity and poignancy...
The photographer is James Campbell - and you can see more of his work on his website:

The use of slow shutter speed and monochrome has created a wonderful visual treat here. Well done, James!

GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 26 May to 1 June 2014

Our featured photographer from the +AFRICANature Google+ this week is +Chad Wright who shared this adorable photo of Ostrich chicks with us. His good use of monochrome and slow shutter speed lifts this photo above the other great photos we received of "more iconic" species and locations.
