The Saguni trip.

There is something fun about planning a trip and seeing everything falling into place. I have been blessed to be part of a team that has the same passion for exploring the wild while forming a bond in the process. We embarked on another trip this past weekend and we visited the Saguni Bush SafariContinue reading “The Saguni trip.”

If at first you don’t succeed, do try again.

I have been yearning to take a picture of an eagle so much that last week while on my way from work, I spotted one on its regular spot and said it out loud, fortunately the people that I was with were too deep into what they were discussing and didn’t hear me. I hadContinue reading “If at first you don’t succeed, do try again.”

We are still on…

It has been a while since I last posted something here but we are surely still on. The journey still continues. I really must admit, I enjoy taking pictures of big birds and I had been eyeing some at Riley’s Hotel in Maun for weeks now. The first time I went out to capture them,Continue reading “We are still on…”

Morning Glory

For a while, I would pass by the Power Substation and wish that I wasn’t on my way to work because something kept drawing me towards it. I imagined just how a picture of the sun rising would look like if I moved closer to those erect structures which I have come to find outContinue reading “Morning Glory”

Zebras crossing

I had been looking forward to capturing a zebra crossing the road, hence the title of this post. The roads in midtown have parts where the pedestrians cross over and the motorists have to obey the signs and stop. One day someone said that sometimes people walk on zebra crossings so slowly that you wouldContinue reading “Zebras crossing”

BIRD HUNTING

I had every intention to take my camera out for some bird-hunting this past weekend and just along the Toteng- Maun road, I saw some big birds on top of several trees. I stopped and was glad that I did. As I approached the trees, the birds flew away but allowed me to test whatContinue reading “BIRD HUNTING”

Something new, something bought

I had my first introduction to a DSLR which I had borrowed in December 2019, a Canon EOS650D with just the 55-250mm lens. I have enjoyed using the combination but I also experienced the challenges of it. I wished there could have been a wider lens for the landscape pictures. In January, because I wasContinue reading “Something new, something bought”

The Lockdown has been extended by another week

For weeks, since the lockdown started, I have been doing the best to keep sane. Being a mother to 3 very active children is no ball in the park. There has been a routine that I had subscribed to after accepting being defeated by the Corona Virus takeover. I had tried taking a couple ofContinue reading “The Lockdown has been extended by another week”

Day 5 of the Lockdown

The Corona virus has definitely taken away our freedom to be loitering the streets or going to eat out at the restaurants. My 11 month old son can’t wait to get outside. He has been such a great sport and allowed me to continue taking pictures of him and it has helped me keep sane.Continue reading “Day 5 of the Lockdown”

UNCERTAINTY- a feeling in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic by Tshepo Phokoje

This is not a usual photography post. It’s a reaction to the pandemic. 31/03/2020 at 0830hrs: Three cases have been confirmed in Botswana, it was announced on the 8pm news last night. People have sort of been waiting for these news with bated breath, as if to say, at long last, looking back at justContinue reading “UNCERTAINTY- a feeling in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic by Tshepo Phokoje”
