My entry to photography contest - WILDLIFE

Hello,

We are 10 days till Christmas and I am sure a lot of us are already planning things for that special day. Usually, we want to prepare some good meal for that day. We will invite family members and bake a bread to go along with some cold cuts and cheese plate. For the main dish we will prepare roasted beef with few two or three side dishes. For the most important part of the dinner, dessert, my wife will bake something good again and I am sure it won’t be just one option, but several of them. I will make sure to keep you updated with how the planned menu will developed over days as I am sure I will still make a few posts till Christmas evening.

That was an intro which is not connected with my today’s topic which is wildlife. Even though I wouldn’t mind having some kudu or warthog meet instead of classic beef :)
Why wildlife today? As it is part of the weekly photography contest organised by @photofeed. That is probably my favourite topic. I know, I say that every time, but now I mean it for real :)
I was so impressed when I was on safari in Africa that I am constantly dreaming of when I will be able to go again. I would just love to go again and to have opportunity to take some new wildlife photography shots. Humans are hunters, that is inside of us and even if we don’t need to hunt anymore, we still carry that with us from ancient era. I would never hunt in a way that I would kill a zebra or any other animal, but to hunt them with camera, yes please. That gives me joy and it is like a videogame when you have to search for animals and you don’t know where they are, or even if they are around. Including photography, you than always have to try to find the best conditions to get the best result.
Now you see how I look on wildlife photography. Below you will see how my wildlife photography looks like :)

Enjoy at least 1% of how I did enjoy taking them!

Man I really want to go in another safari. These are awesome shots.

I feel you. I am dreaming of it for a while now!
This is the perfect timing for a getaway to savannah.
Hope we make it soon mate.

Wonderful collection of wildlife images! Thanks for sharing, @crazy-andy.

Thank you for stopping by!

Wow, absolutely amazing photos. Must be exciting to be so close to so many incredible and beautiful wild animals.

Yes it really is an amazing feeling. Kind of addicted. Would do it again!

Really really nice pics ^^ How many days you spent in Africa to take those photos? I am planning to go the Africa in 2023 in animal migrations season to see them ^^

I was there on two defferent travels. First time mainly in Namibia and few days in neighbour countries. Whole travel was about 14 days.
Second time I was in South African republic and that one was 10 days travel.
I wish I could spend months there :)
Animal migrations should be fantastic!

Thank you for the information ^^ Will plan for at least 3-4w there :)

Now that's a wildlife post! Incredible work @crazy-andy !!

Haha, thank you!
More animals than zoo has offers, right :)

Lots of amazing captures here. I definitely enjoyed more than 1% of how you did. :) Love the sayings of "hunt them with camera" and "it is like a videogame when you have to search for animals", haha!

I am glad you even like my writting :)
Mostly people recognize my photos :)

Well I can't wait to go on another hunt and share my captures with you guys!

A very nice show of wildlife just what I expected from you 👍

Too kind again :)

Your welcome @crazy-andy I am looking for one photo myself to enter 👍

You always deliver awesomeness Andy.

Thank you for the kind comment.
I am doing my best and hope to have some fresh material from any new travel soon!

Wow these shots are amazing !!
The elephant shots are my favourite, such a beautiful creature.
I can't wait to go back on safari in Africa one day.

I can agree with you on the elephant shot. Especially the one in savanah with antelopes grazing around.

I feel you about going back to safari!

Manually curated by ackhoo from the @qurator Team. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for the support @ackhoo and @qurator.

You're very welcome... :) Most impressive collection!

A lot of excellent wildlife photos, bravo!

@tipu curate

It is easy to get good photos of such an amazing subject!
Thank you for the support.

Oh, wow Africa is such a dream. You captured the animals there very well.

Thanks man!
I am sure you would do very well if you would be there. Better say when you will be there :)

Great pictures! You captured in essence that wild life of each of those animals.

That is easy to do if you are watching them in their natural habitat.
Have a great day!

Hello dear friend @ crazy-andy good afternoon
It is true, we are all planning what will be the reception of the good night and the legacy of the child God, in our case we are fixing the house, painting and decorating the environment; Before we cared about making big meals, now we make it easier; The situation of the country forces us.

What beautiful shots you have here, your photo album is enviable dear friend

Success in the contest. I wish you a beautiful afternoon. Enjoy it a lot

Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment.
Actually I know the fact about hippos. I was alert of them in city of St. Lucia in South Africa where they are sometimes walking around in the city.
It was black rhino. Too bad white one is almost extinct. What humans are doing with that poor animal is heartbraking
Safari is so awesome, that I am dreaming of it almost every day. Ohhh can't wait that day to come again.

Wish you a great day and hope to see you around again!
