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 can be used as a beacon to my main site, Wildlife Pictures OnlinePlease 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.
There are also screensavers that can be downloaded at no cost, plus wildlife brochures and fun jigsaw puzzles. You'll also find interesting and informative articles about photography, camera gear, wild animal facts and animal behavior.
New wildlife pictures are posted regularly to the site's wildlife photography blog, together with info on how the pictures were taken, plus snippets about conservation, photo gear and wildlife destinations.
Should you be needing good quality stock photos at very affordable prices, then one of my Virtual CDs could be just the ticket. There are also Photo Packs available, each comprising 15 images each that cost only $10 per pack. The Virtual CDs and Photo Packs feature images that are ideal for use on web sites, printed material and as reference for wildlife and animal artists.
