Join Eastway & Portelli in the Falklands - December 2024
King Penguins at Sunset, Falkland Islands. Photo by Scott Portelli. The Falkland Islands are usually the first or the last stop on the South Georgia / Antarctica circuit. Stays are usually only two or three days at best, yet there is so much to see and photograph that I've always felt a little short changed, especially if you're an avid wildlife photographer. With this in mind, Scott has invited me to lead a small group of five photographers on a two week exploration of the Falklands and its...
An ND5 Voyage on True North II
Video still from Michael Fletcher's Youtube video featuring True North II See it on Youtube here:https://youtu.be/LGmj6VTxzq4?si=Bqx43h4uQJ0HZGMe Many readers may remember ND5 - Ninety Degrees Five, a collaboration between Les Walking, Tony Hewitt, Christian Fletcher, Michael Fletcher and me. We've been a little quiet for the last few years, but our website (www.nd5.com.au) is still active and we're still active - just we haven't been doing a lot together. And Covid got in the way of our last...
The Tree Near Tolkien Rock
Tree in flooded Awatere River, Middlehurst, NZDJI Mavic Pro 2, f2.8 @ 1/120 second, ISO 100 As we continue to spend time on our passion, it surprises me how often you can find a new way of doing something - like photography. Sometimes it's just a change of attitude or perhaps being influenced by another artist or photographer. It can also be a change or development in technology and there's no doubt AI is really going to move things along (especially with Adobe's new Structure Reference...
Uganda Photo Tour - 2 to 13 July 2024 US$10,995
This photo tour is a fascinating, off the beaten track African experience with a great mixture of experiences because it is not only about rare wildlife (like birds, mountain gorillas and chimpanzees), but also tribal people and culture.
Uganda has about 60 different tribes registered with the state, including the first people to arrive in the country about 5000 years ago, the Batwa Tribe (pygmy families). Another group is the Bahima Tribe, known for long-horned Ankole cattle keeping. We will not only photograph the wildlife, tribes and explore villages, but also learn about their tribal traditions and lifestyles.
The level of physical activity required for this tour is best described as moderate to quite active. For instance, you’ll be pretty active on the days when we trek up to see the mountain gorillas, the chimpanzees and the swamps!
As we require permits from the National Parks for the gorilla and chimpanzee treks, it is important to book for this tour as early as possible!
The tour includes:
• Photograph Mountain Gorillas
• Meet Batwa people (pygmy families)
• Learn about the local traditions
• Photograph people milking Ankole cows
• Discover the daily life of local people
• Photograph the Chimpanzees
• Porters to carry your equipment on Chimpanzee and Gorilla treks.
