Leopard drinking at waterhole - yes, he disturbed our dinner! We could not imagine staying in the parks and not photographing after the sun goes down! We have photographed lions, leopards, cheetah, caracal, porcupine, African wild cat, genets, bush babies, civet, owls and more, mostly from the camps, what we call the ‘Sofa Safari’.  The issue of using spotlights and flashes can be a hotly debated one but I think it’s like anything else, some people will abuse the item while others will use it responsibly.   I think these comments from @BrendonCremer sum up the situation nicely…  “In recent months we have once again seen photographers come into the firing line on social media platforms regarding what some people see as unethical / conservation issues which are completely unfounded statements or are rather based on personal opinion rather than based on fact. Some of these being the ongoing bashing of photographers for the use of spotlights and flashes on nocturnal animals, which is said to blind and disable them, a statement that is complete nonsense…   Please people, let's rather look at all the good that photographers do for conservation through various efforts around the world… the point is, lets focus on real issues rather than seeking attention with biased and personal opinions”.  https://www.kruger-2-kalahari.com Hashtags #Kruger2Kalahari #NaturePhotography  #WildlifePhotography #PhotoSafari  #nikonwildlife  #knp  #madikwegamereserve #madikwephotography #madikwesafari #madikwe #travelphotographer  #selfdrivesafari  #bigfivesafari #nocturnalphotography #nightphotography #flashphotography #leopard #big5 #bigcats #sofasafari #spotlight (at Madikwe Game Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpC-5hAKr56/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
