2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Sable antelope, Okavango Delta, Botswana
Sable Antelope Fawns

Species: Sable antelope | Location: Okavango Delta, Botswana

These sable antelope fawns were hiding, but curiosity appeared to get the better of them. This was great for us, but I hope they stayed better hidden after we left, as sable antelope are a highly endangered species.

About The Photographer

I have been an enthusiastic amateur photographer since age 11, when my father (also an enthusiastic amateur) got me my first camera. Recently I was able to exercise my enthusiasm on safari in Botswana, where the Okavango Delta is one of the richest places for wildlife, and wildlife photographers, on the African continent. My trusty old DSLR, a Canon EOS 30D, and favorite lens for wildlife, a Canon 100-300 mm zoom, both got terrific workouts. I also learned some wonderful tips there from a professional at one of our safari camps. Mostly I shoot landscapes, wildlife when the opportunity presents, and some arty stuff from time to time.
