GooglePlus Pic of the Week: 22 to 28 September 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 fabulous photo of an African Painted Dog (African Wild Dog) was shared by +Christa Niederer. Check out her G+ profile for more of her work!

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: 2 to 8 June 2014

It was another week of "anything goes", an open theme as it were, where any photo of Africa's fauna and flora and vistas was welcome.

There was one photo that clearly stood out - and it is highly probable that you will NOT see another photo showing this exact group of animals in these poses ever again. The photographer is Timothy Smith from Australia, and he captured this moment while working as a field guide in Africa. You can follow his Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/PhotographyTrs

The photo itself is posted below and shows two endangered White Rhinoceros in the act of mating, with two critically endangered African Wild Dogs looking on with seemingly bemused expressions...talk about a uniquely African moment!
