About African wildlife photography, wildlife information, camera gear, safari destinations - plus some useful links and resources.

Hello There! 

This lens focuses primarily on my interest in wildlife photography and is best used as a beacon to my main site, Wildlife Pictures Online

Please visit my site and browse around - there are hundreds of wildlife pictures from Africa posted on the site, including wildlife images that can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes.

I also sell some higher resolution images as Photo Packs, each comprising 15 images each that cost only $10 per pack, and as
Virtual CDs
. The Photo Packs and Virtual CDs feature images that are ideal for use on web sites, printed material and as reference for wildlife and animal artists.

Stock images suitable for advertising and editorial material are available from a sister site, Widlife Stock Pictures. These images can be ordered and immediately downloaded. If you prefer to have photos on CD, there are also Wildlife Picture CD's available from my Cafe Press shop - see the
Wildife Shopping
category for more about this.

There are also screensavers that can be downloaded at no cost, plus wildlife brochures and fun jigsaw puzzles. You'll also find photography, wildlife and safari articles that may be of interest.

If you have any questions or want to know more, please use the

About scotch196

Name's Scotch Macaskill (it's a nickname - real name Andrew) and I live in Pietermaritzburg, near Durban, South Africa. After studying law at Natal University I spent a few years of unhappy practice as an attorney before opting out to try photojournalism. More study, this time a three-year Photography Diploma at Natal Technikon in Durban. Subsequently worked on newspapers and magazines in South Africa and Australia as a photographer and sub-editor, tried my hand as a commercial photographer, and worked in communications for a safari clothing company. My interest in wildlife and wildlife photography has developed in tandem with travels to some of southern Africa's great parks and nature reserves. Currently working from home, mixing photography with trying to make a living online.
