Any advice for someone taking a photo like this? Take some time to enjoy the moment, then get your camera out. Try putting it on a tripod and, if you have a shutter priority setting, reduce the shutter speed down to a point when the aperture or ‘f’ reading is as high as possible — which indicates having the smallest aperture. This will enable you to get as much of the landscape in focus as possible. Then place the camera on timer so you’re not jogging it when you press the shutter release. Slow shutter speeds in low light will be blurred with any small movement. Then, vary the shutter speed to make the scene lighter and darker and


choose the one that captures the best light. Or, you can try placing the camera in aper- ture priority mode or ‘manual, depending on your set up, and adapt the settings by opening up the depth of fi eld and lower- ing the shutter speed. Keep the ISO low to limit the amount of grain.


What was your fi rst trip to South Africa like? I was blown away. There’s such a staggering diversity of subject matter, from extreme wildlife experiences to unique cultural tra- ditions. Between myself and the fi lm crew I travelled with, we had to pinch ourselves to make sure we were really there. 
