Africa’s Big Five
If the light and dust of Africa allures you and your lens each year, perhaps it is time to bite the bullet and embark on the trip of a lifetime. Wildlife and documentary photographer Piper Mackay pens a guide to photographing Africa’s big five this issue, a photo adventure on the wish list of many wildlife photographers. Piper pulls out all the stops with top locations and how to get the best out of photographing each of these unique species - elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard.
Closer to home, Ithaca based photographer Sarah Blodgett learns the hunting habits of some intriguing little green divers - green heron - and delivers some top notch images.
