September - Zimbabwe

Some advice that I learned on my most recent safari from one of the professional guides who takes lots of pictures (Matt Copham), is this: Don't be afraid to use Sepia (gives a "classic safari" look) and Black and White (especially for shots of Zebra, or variations on the "classic safari" look). Also, take a wide shot taking in everything around the subject, then another of just the subject. This helps give context and to tell the story of your safari. Plus, it's good for editing when you get home. Finally, I would add that Zimbabwe provides an excellent value in terms of safari experience and cost.
