The time has come yet again, and very shortly, I am piling into the car, camera bags and luggage in hand and making for Melbourne Airport to begin the journey to South Africa (via Dubai). I will be on and offline over the next month and will do my best to squeeze in some blog posts and podcasts when possible. I am keen to return to Zululand in South Africa for the incredible wildlife and am super excited for my first trip to Barrow for Arctic birds at the top of Alaska. The first stop is Dubai for a five-hour layover and then direct to Durban in South Africa. A few days to get over jetlag and then a short plane hope to the game reserve for my ground-level masterclass wildlife workshop. Only limited places now remain on next year’s 2024 trip – please just email me for further details. See you in Africa! (Please see the Wild Nature Photography Podcast Number #74 for Equipment packing).

After well-received showings in Camaguey, Santiago de Cuba, and Havana, I am honoured that ANTIPODAS, a 40-image photographic exhibition of Paul Murrays Namibian work and my Antarctica Emperor Penguin work, is returning to Havana opening today (Friday, May 12th, New Time 2:30 PM) at Cuba’s prestigious National Museum of Natural History located in the Plaza de Armas in Old Havana. The renowned Cuban curator Juan Carlos Mejias has focused the exhibit on issues of adaptability, survival, and global environmental change impacting these radically different environments. We appreciate the tremendous support our friends in Cuba and worldwide have given us.

I have just published episode #74 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss the new rumours surrounding the RF Canon 200-500mm L IS USM lens with an inbuilt 1.4 teleconverter and what this lens might mean for wildlife photographers.  I also talk about the challenges surrounding packing both equipment and clothes suitable for my upcoming trip to Africa and Alaska. 

The last place has been spoken for on my 2023 ground-level wildlife masterclass to Zululand in South Africa, and the workshop is now sold out. I will offer this workshop again in June of 2024, next year, for a small group of photographers. This is the workshop for you if you have ever wanted to photograph African wildlife at ground and eye level. Full details are now on my website HERE.

Last year I made a video for the now-defunct AIPP on optimally sharpening your file for a print workflow in both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.
