Fanie Mpiping Our Expedition Leader, Linyanti Tented Camp, Botswana
Fanie Mpiping Our Expedition Leader

Species: Fanie Mpiping Our Expedition Leader | Location: Linyanti Tented Camp, Botswana

Fanie Mpiping Our Expedition Leader…We couldn’t have had a better guide. We loved how he kept sightings to come to himself (as he tracked) so there was never an expectation… he worked tirelessly tracking and each wildlife encounter was amazing. For example, This sun downer photo shows his preparation... but on this evening even Fanie did not expect to have a "Five" legged elephant come out of the bush so quickly and approach our truck... image how fast he had to work to put all of this away and to get his guests safely away!

Fanie gave us so many opportunities to see such a head-spinningly large cast of charismatic animals.

His admiration and respect for his fellow workers in the camps was exceptional. He made our trip an absolute joy.

Photo / Video Journalist, " Videographer"...Since retiring 20 years ago I have tried to blend Video & Photography. I Started with the GoPro fish eye ( still and video), then Canon T6i for its great video and still photos with all the macro and telephoto lens, and then of course the iPhone. I have tried to blend these tools together providing a sense of movement combined with stationary shots to create stories with diverse tools. I started with simple iPhoto slide shows 10 years ago, editing and then blending photos with iMovie. I try to bring together several shots sometimes taken in unison using different devices form many positions to capture these special moments; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDycQ4jIYW8&t=5s When the iPhone enhanced their settings to "live" and portrait it helped me achieved what I had been trying to blend for years. Still a work in process... living life to its fullest with a camera by my side! Although the editing takes hours and hours to make short shows for You Tube ... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUNft5a1usk7cOuPNac-9yA , I get my biggest kicks for creating these illustrations for family and friends. It's so worthwhile for weddings, special events, adventure trips, to celebrate people who have passed and much more. I gift my work to document life events for others and I get lots of great vibes back! Obviously it works for grandchildren too!
