I should have known this trip wouldn’t be the best as soon as I was asked to pay for overweight luggage at Heathrow Airport! And I would have been right. Five days of fog, one day of rain with grey skies and one, just one afternoon of sun and good light. Not the weather we [...]
Full disclosure of captive animal photos…Yes or No? A few people have forwarded me links about a British Photographer who has apparently risked his life to photograph some of the most dangerous animals in the world.
