Once upon a time, holiday snaps were all about disposable cameras. We then moved into the digital camera era and now, we are firmly within the smartphone one.

Bolivia – On Travel & Photography

Posted on September 22, 2013 by Carlota Martins | 4 Comments

We arrived tired and a little bit cranky to La Paz, Bolivia. For me it was one of those travel moments when you simply want to get some sleep and spend a few relaxing days doing very little before getting back on the intense travel style I grew accustomed to. With little time, and money to see everything I wanted…

Smooth out Your Videos with a Steadicam

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Darren | 4 Comments

Lesley and I love to take lots of pictures and videos; it’s the best way to capture as many memories as we can. Having a bomb-proof camera which can perform both tasks is a must.

Almost everyone who visits Africa, whether big game hunter, photographer, or just a run of the mill tourist, quickly becomes captivated with the continent’s Big Five; elephants, lion, rhino, leopard, and Cape buffalo, animals that Africa is famous for. These Big Five animals aren’t all that Africa has to offer, but big game hunters have singled them out because of the difficult…

Southern Elephant Seals: Giant Slugs of the Sea? Or Just a Lot of Blubber?

Posted on October 24, 2012 by Suellen | 5 Comments

Everywhere I looked elephant seals were piled up like heaps of exhausted Sumo wrestlers. Sometimes it was easy to overlook them–mistaking them for sand hills. The penguins must have thought so too, as they paraded amongst them willy-nilly. Penguins and Southern Elephant Seals mostly ignore each other on land The seals are not a threat to the penguins on land,…

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Suellen | 6 Comments

Macquarie Island, in the Sub-Antarctic, was the main destination of this Orion Expedition Cruise. Macquarie Island, or Macca, as the Expedition Team liked to call it, was amazing. We were fortunate enough to spend a full day touring Macquarie Island. The morning was spent touring around the research station and its environs, meeting the locals–predominantly gentoo penguins and elephant seals. After a…
