Dave Pusey Photography: December 2011
http://davepuseyphotography.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. My Personal Choices of 2011. It has been a truly amazing and rewarding year here at Leopard Hills, there have been lots of great opportunities to shoot and here are a couple of my personal choices. This Pangolin spotlit scene is a close 2nd, the rarity of a sighting and then to have the secretive animal co-operating with his posture was extremely lucky. Slow shutter of 1/20, manual exposure.

Sunday, December 12, 2010. Spot lit young Leopard. This young female which we dont see often was lying up on a mound in the more remote northern area of the reserve as the sun popped down. She isn't very used to vehicles but was remarkably relaxed in the gloomy light and gave us a great view before she moved off. A little spotlight illuminated her and kept the scene looking very natural. Thursday, December 9, 2010. Monday, December 6, 2010. Heavily overcast conditions are difficult and I had to shoot on ...

Saturday, March 5, 2011. Miniature Mapogo, future kings! A few days ago we were kindly notified by another ranger that a lioness and 2 tiny little cubs were briefly seen crossing the river bed close to our lodge. We jumped in the Land Rover straight away to try and find them but all we saw were the miniature tracks heading along the river into thick bush! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dave Pusey Photography: April 2011
http://davepuseyphotography.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 17, 2011. We were following the Tlangisa female (2 yrs old) strolling along in her new territory and she was scent marking vigorously! Then suddenly out of nowhere came the Metsi female, her older step sister (5 yrs) who is territorial on the western side of Tlangisa. Metsi followed her for about 5 minutes, stalking and crouching and marking on top of Tlangisa's scent without her even knowing.we thought a possible clash was imminent! Wednesday, April 6, 2011.

Sunday, February 20, 2011. Lioness attempting to catch warthogs. We were unexpectedly treated on Saturday afternoon. It was quite a hot day and we found this lioness lying up in the shade fast asleep in an open area close to the lodge. I started chatting about lion behaviour and how unlikely it was that she would move until it cooled down but ever hopeful we waited and spoke about the lion dynamics here in the Western Sands while resting in the shade ourselves.

Dave Pusey Photography: October 2011

Sunday, October 30, 2011. We have all seen breathtaking documentary footage of a lioness gently carrying her cub in her mouth and been touched by the tenderness with which she handles the tiny fur balls! Every ranger and wildlife enthusiast dreams of witnessing this moment for themselves, I waited many years for all the elements to fall into place and finally had my breath taken away last week. Now the lioness could move her cubs to a new den site several times in their first few weeks, carrying them one...

Dave Pusey Photography: Painted Pups...1 month since they emerged!
http://davepuseyphotography.blogspot.com/2011/06/painted-pups1-month-on-growing-fast.html
Saturday, June 4, 2011. Painted Pups.1 month since they emerged! Enjoy some of my favourite images of the pups since they emerged 4 weeks ago! Below was our first view of the wobbly floppy eared little ones a month ago when they could hardly walk! Proved to be extremely difficult shooting in the shade with lots of grass! Since then as they have grown and become more bold we have had more light to work with as they venture further from the den. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Based at Leopard Hills in...

Dave Pusey Photography: November 2010
http://davepuseyphotography.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 20, 2010. This is the young Xinzele male who has a territory along the Sand River. These images were taken just after a fight with a young male encroaching on his territory, the expression on his face sums up his sombre mood. The low angle created the shot in late afternoon light as he briefly rested on a mound contemplating his predicament before disappearing into the river. Wednesday, November 17, 2010.
