"“Because of its sculptural form, the Quiver Tree is one of the most spectacular aloe species found in Southern Africa”"

Aloe dichotoma is a species of aloe native to Southern Africa. It is also known as The Quiver tree or Kokerboom.

The name, Quiver tree, refers to the San people’s (Oldest African Tribe in Southern Africa) use of its hollowed branches to make quivers for their arrows. The quiver tree is a very large species of aloe and can be only found only in southern Africa. The tree is found in the very dry habitats in Namibia and South Africa . The quiver tree is a large species of aloe that can only be found in southern Africa. The tree is found in Namibia and South Africa in very dry habitats.

The Quiver tree's thick succulent leaves grow in a rosette up to 6 meters tall to escape the worst of the devastating heat. To keep cool, the branches are thickly coated in a fine white powder that reflects the sun's heat rather than absorbing it. The soft fibrous tissue trunk of the aloe tree can sore great quantities of water allowing it to survive the frequent droughts and extreme heat. The giant quiver tree is the most endangered of South Africa's three quiver tree species. It is found in a narrow band, with its southernmost range well above the Tropic of Capricorn. Their numbers have steadily declined as a result of plant collectors and climatic conditions that have hampered seedling growth.

Storm Over The Karoo | Landscapes | Fine-Art

Witnessing a "Storm over the Karoo" is the most amazing sight to behold. The Karoo has always held a special place in my heart. Its big open skies fill me with joy and a sense of peace that is hard to describe. 

Capturing this unique fine art print of a " Storm over the Karoo" has been a dream of mine for many years. A serendipitous trip to Mountain Zebra National park meant I was in the right place at the right time.

We spent a few days in this dry parch land that was crying out for rains. And on our last day, the heavens were filled with tumultuous dark clouds, with the sound of thunder, and bolts of lightning that were biblical.

Fine-art Print

African Buffalo Large Herd of African Buffalo walk along a ridge in the Masai Mara I have always wanted to create a print of a herd of Buffalo in the open, not as easy it sounds, as most Buffalo are wary of people and they like to stay hidden till dusk. I was fortunate to find this massive herd of a couple of hundred moving along a ridge. It was tricky getting in position, and I knew I would get one chance before they would slightly change direction. The sky was subdued after a storm. I love the subtlety of the sky in contrast to the texture and shapes of the Buffalo. More than happy with this Fine-Art print of African Buffalo

While on landscape photography day out. I was looking for a good vantage point to photograph a sunset. As I looked, I saw a very tall shadow out of the corner of my eye.

I still don’t know which of us were surprised the most! I was unaware of any Giraffes 🦒 in the reserve. I guess the Giraffe was unaware of any wildlife photographers in his patch. Either way, it was an excellent opportunity to grab a beautiful black and white print of a Giraffe amongst black rocks ..a very unusual sighting hence a rare fine-art print

Virginia's Tree, Story Behind the Fine Art Print

The low rumble of thunder in the distance sounded the arrival of the first storms of summer. Bolts of lightning danced across the skies. The clouds were a Velvia purple and spread out across the western sky. The mood in the Masai reserve was electrifying, the air tingled with anticipation of the first rains, from time to time, the low sun in the east would filter through the rain clouds. Our safari vehicle bounced along the dusty roads. We were five, me, our driver Benson, who suffered from selective hearing, I believe this was a learnt skill as he had three wives.

A husband and wife from Belgium, today I was their wildlife photography tutor. It was our second trip together. I enjoyed their company and passion for wildlife photography. Our fifth guest is known to all us from the "Big Screen." I was more than slightly star-struck. The previous day she had given a presentation on her lifework, the Born Free Foundation or as Virginia like to call it, the Born Free Family. Yes, the beautiful, gifted and passionate lady sitting next to me was none other, Virginia McKenna, the actress who starred with her husband in the lovely movie "Born Free". In the autumn of her life, eyes sparkling, a captivating aura and full of energy. Virginia is still the voice, of the voiceless, the ever-diminishing wildlife on our troubled planet. After decades of standing firmly and resolute against institutions, governments, individuals her resolve has not waivered, her determination and passion shine brightly for all to see.

Benson, our driver, wakes me from my reverie, Lions! I could hear the murmur of excitement grow from my guests, I said, let's go. Off we went in a hail of mud, and grass as Benson manoeuvred the 4x4 expertly from one muddy swamp to the next, then we started to climb towards a woodland, as we entered the wood, it was eerily quiet, dappled light and the smell of crushed mint filled our senses. As we exited the forest, the scent of mint was replaced by the putrid smell of a hippo carcass. Vultures were in attendance in large numbers, Egyptian, Hooded, Lappet-faced, White-backed and even the Ruperts. The lions were as I suspected, asleep, lying flat in the shade of some trees. Still, my guests were happy just to come across these elusive predators.

I turned to the occupants with me, and with all the persuasiveness I could muster, I said, "Let us leave the lions, for now, photographically there is nothing of note here". The ladies present were happy as I could see the lingering smell of death was affecting them. A few days previously, I had noticed a magnificent specimen of a tree, a shepherds tree, on a hill close by, I decided this would make a perfect subject with the impending storm as a dramatic backdrop. Once we arrived at the location, I directed Benson to the best position to photograph the tree, then explained to my guests my intentions of photographing this magnificent tree against the beautiful storm clouds.

Usually, tripods would be the order of the day, but we were in a "Big Five" game reserve, getting out of our vehicle was a non-starter. With the strong winds, we were better protected photographing from the 4x4, using bean bags or even hand-holding. I am Fujifilm X-photographer, oddly I found myself holding a Hasselblad X1D2 and composing the amazing tree against the dramatic storm clouds in the Hasselblads viewfinder. How did this come about? A lovely gentleman, now a good friend called Pablo, and I chatted over coffee that morning about cameras. Pablo is an excellent photographer and a collector of medium format cameras. When Pablo opened his aluminium case, my heart skipped a beat at the contents. He knew I was using Fujifilm GFX 100, although mine is a pre-production camera belonging to Fujifilm South Africa, Pablo had the GFX100, 50R and a shiny wonderfully engineered Hasselblad X1D2. He saw the sparkle in my eyes and kindly offered the camera to me for the day, out of politeness, I declined, but at lunchtime, he offered again. This time my curiosity got the better of me, I accepted.

While photographing, I was explaining to my guests my thought process and settings. It was then I turned to Virginia and said, "I can't help but a draw a comparison of the tree standing firm against the impending storm and the battles you fight on behalf of our wildlife against those who seek to destroy for profit or pleasure." Virginia's eyes smiled and sparkled; the heavens opened, and the deluge turned our field into a swamp.

Benson jumped outside and began to batten down the canvas hatches, we all helped, and within a few minutes, the 4x4 was crawling its way back to a road. We eventually found a thatch structure that we could park underneath. As we sipped our gin and tonics, we recounted the afternoons' beautiful experiences and which was our highlight. For me, sitting next to Virginia Mckenna and photographing "Virginia's tree." against the most amazing African storm I had ever seen, will be forever engrained in my memory. I turned on my camera and took a quick peek. I smiled, looked up, held my glass out. Slainte, and Virginia replied "Slainte, as our glasses clinked, thunder rang out, and lightning danced all around.

The Matriarch, Story behind the Photograph

It is a hot and sticky day, as we bumble along the potholed ridden track, everyone is relaxed, it is our third day of safari, and the everyday stress that had accompanied us here has slipped away like a shadow in the midday sun. Magnificent cumulonimbus clouds tower above us, the smell of rain is in the air, a welcome whisper of cool wind washes over us. The air becomes charged with excitement as the first rumbles of the afternoons' storm permeate throughout the sanctuary.

It is the most amazing and humbling experience to be in such proximity to an elephant herd. The elephants were all around us, and they were relaxed, and so where we. The moment I had hoped for, silently began to unfold in front of me, I was worried about not having enough focal length, I turned the camera to portrait and breathed a sigh of relief — just enough room within the frame.

The Matriarch turned towards me, we were eye to eye, as she reached for another bunch of grass. One of my guests, let a small yelp of delight as a baby elephant reached their trunk towards her. The Matriarch reacted by extending ears; at that moment all the elements needed to create a compelling portrait came together, the Matriarch was front on, eye to eye, ears out, trunk slight curled at the tip, I held my breath, and pressed the shutter. I breathed a sigh of both relief and joy.
