Nicci van As (Independent) is our July winner!
Nicci, congratulations on your winning image – African Hummingbird Hawk-Moth
Nicci says:
I took the photo in our local nature reserve, Faan Meintjies, just outside Klerksdorp. There was a patch of purple flowers next to the dirt road in the reserve, alive with butterflies and African Hummingbird Hawk-Moths. The moths usually hover in one place while sipping the nectar from the flowers, and if one is patient, it isn’t too difficult to get a good photo.
I used my Nikon D500 with the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 lens at 500mm (750mm equivalent, as it is a crop sensor camera), f/5.6, 1/5000 sec at ISO 250.
Our 1st Runner-up is Craig Morgan from Randburg Photo Club with “Heated Argument”
Our 2nd Runner-up is Anton la Grange from Mosselbaai Kameraklub with “Dahlia Peaches and Cream”
Thank you to the judges:
Corine Ross – Krugersdorp Kameraklub
Anette Reimers – Port Elizabeth Camera Club
Francois Venter – National Photographic Club (NPC)
