Do you swim in South African ocean?
I went looking for dolphins, but found sharks 😁 This hammerhead was swimming just past the breakers next to our beach.
Didn’t seem to be hunting.
There were to more hammerheads nearby, but too far apart to get a shot of three of them. One appeared to be juvenile.

I know this shot is "nothing to write home about" but I'm no wildlife photographer, and shooting animals at night with average gear is not easy...
This is just Nikon Z50 with 50-250mm lens at ISO3200, f6.3 and 1/5s...
Straight out of the camera (no noise reduction or other Lr/Ps tools yet)

When you drive whole day through a nature reserve looking for flamingos and you finally see them... just outside town, next to the road on the way to your next your destination
Regarding the trail ratings 😂 - in South Africa, the difficulty of the hike depends on season.
When it’s dry, a lot of hikes can be considered easy, at least for moderately fit person.
Things change dramatically when it’s wet, especially when your hike includes steep inclines and river crossing.
I was quite surprised to find out that winter is actually a low season in Drakensberg, because it is easiest to hike, it must be something to do with temperatures being below 0 C that are perhaps difficult to handle by my dear friends from Southern hemisphere 😁

Veld fires are a natural part of life in South Africa, turning dry grasslands into ashes that help the land bounce back with new growth.
It’s nature’s way of hitting the reset button.
But there’s a flip side—these fires can get out of hand fast, threatening homes, wildlife, and entire communities if not kept in check.
While they’re important for keeping the ecosystem healthy, it’s all about managing the risks so the land can renew safely.
This time of the year, Johannesburg glows, but it’s not from gold…

Old flight with new edit.
Who else has tons of unedited footage and shots?
I literally have around 4Tb to go through (of course not all will be usable) that I was saving until I “up my editing skills “ 😅
I only recently started putting some thought into the editing process and thinking what I want to show rather than „fix the light, up the saturation” kind of thing that I did before (same for my astro shots) and I must admit, the more I know about editing, the more challenging it gets!

Wednesday Wisdom 😀
If all fails (like you have no time or no idea whatsoever what to post) make reel photo dump and loop it!
I found this cool template for CapCut, 7 seconds makes it loop seamlessly 😇
In order to use CapCut templates, you need to find them on T1kT0k first, just search the term and find creator you like. This one was created by @pearl.akdnz
When you open the video, you will have option to use the template in CapCut (of course you have to have it installed)

...rescue mission was successful 😁
What happened there?
I had a bright idea to fly out of a cave into an open air through a narrow gap.
It was windy outside, and a gust of wind threw me onto a rock, some 6-7 meters above. It came down the same way as it got stuck, with another gust of wind as I was figuring out how to tie selfie sticks and branches long enough to knock it 😁
Useful tip - when flying in caves and tunnels, watch out for gusts, because they get quite strong with air flow and pressure changes and can carry your drone (especially if you are beginner and fly slow).
Also - enable the manual mode as this will allow your Avata to restart motors even if it's sideways or upside down.

Beginner/intermediate type of move
Did you know that one of the most popular spots in Hawaii banned photography and selfies?
Just as I thought that “no drone” sign is the worse you can see 😂
Influencers are not very happy 😆
no drone sign, no photo sign
