2017-04-23: Amboseli in Black and White

There is just something about the Amboseli landscape that really appeals to me for monochrome images.  The starkness of many of the areas, the elephants towering over the flat, seemingly endless plains.

Here is a selection of images from this beautiful place.

I hope you enjoy, and have a lovely day.

2017-02-13: Monochrome Monday

I’ve shared some photos and stories before from my time at a Mara river crossing, and thought I would share a few more images for my monochrome Monday post.  I hope you enjoy, and wishing everyone a great week.

A lone gazelle tries his luck crossing the river.  My guide explained that the gazelle typically cross in small groups or alone, as there is a huge risk of them being crushed by the larger wildebeest and zebra.  Unfortunately, crossing alone makes them prime targets for the crocodiles.

The crossing came in waves; a group surged across, struggled to get up the banks, and just as the last few wildebeest worked up the bank, the next wave would surge forward to cross.

2016-01-6: Feel Good Friday

I’ve had an amazing week of wildlife viewing so far, and I am really looking forward to sharing that on my What I’ve seen this week post on Sunday.  But for today, I thought I would share one of my artistic impressions with you, since it has been a while since I’ve done so.

This was created using the Topaz Simplify plug in for Photoshop.

2016-12-24: Photo Slideshow

Hi everyone!  I recently put together this photo slideshow for my photo club Christmas party, and thought I would share it here as well.

The photos are taken over the past three years, and there are several from each of my trips to Africa.

I hope you enjoy, Merry Christmas, and all the best for the coming year.

Please note, I’m away for several weeks, so I have scheduled my regular Monday, Wednesday and Friday posts in advance. I will moderate and respond to any comments just as soon as I am able.

I am hoping to be taking loads of photos, so if you would like to follow along, please feel free to give my page a like on Facebook @jennifersawickyphotography and a follow over on Instagram at jensawicky.

2016-08-30: Artistic Impressions

It’s been a busy week as I’ve been getting ready to head off on holiday, and I haven’t been out taking many photos. I have seen loads of wildlife though, including 5 deer at one time, a bear, and the hairy woodpecker family.

Since I have nothing new to share this week, I thought I would post a few more of the photos I call my artistic impressions.

I hope you enjoy them, have a great week!
