There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Marlon du Toit:" Habitats, a complex system that gives life to the animals that we love to see, love to photograph & talk about.
If not for the stunning habitats around our planet we would not see the beauty & variety that we do. Yet so often photographers travel around the world to capture the animals that inhabit the different environments, without looking at the bigger picture at hand. I’m not one of those photographers, and you should not be either. Take stock of every destination you visit. Think about the best possible selection of equipment that you could take along with you. Take lenses that not only compliment the animals, but think about the stunning scenery that surrounds them. This is a selection of some of my favorite African environments. Special mention to the first picture - Dzanga Bai - one of the most incredible places I’ve ever laid eyes upon."
