Congratulations to Jacques Sellschop from Hibiscus Coast Photographic Society!
He is our July winner with his image “The Target Spotted”
It being late on a June afternoon at Djuma in the Sabi Sands Reserve, the light levels were very low. So I chose an ISO of 1600 for a handheld Nikon D800 set on aperture priority. It was fitted with a Nikon 70-200mm lens set on 200mm to give me an aperture of f3.2 for extra light and a diffused background. With an EV of -1.7, the shutter speed was a 640th. Finding the leopard and positioning the vehicle was a tribute to the staff of the ‘Big Cats Safari’ offered by the ‘At Close Quarters’ organisation. In these cases things happen quickly and are gone in a flash. So one cannot deny a significant element of luck in having recorded this elusive moment in time.
Our 1st runner-up is Hein Beukes from Beachcombers Photography Club with “Chinese Bank”
Our 2nd runner-up is Cornell Nortier from Laeveld Fotografiese Klub with “Colour Powder”
Thank you to the judges. This month the competition was judged by Marleen La Grange – Tygerberg Photographic Society/ Cape Town Photographic Society, Leo Theron – Magalies Foto Fun Club and Anton La Grange – PCCC/VSS Virtual CC.
