Mitchell Krog

The name Mitchell Krog has become synonymous with electric storm photography amongst South Africans. Apart from his mindblowing lightning shots, he also has a stunning and comprehensive collection of nature photography from Macro to landscapes to wildlife.

The beautiful Blyde River Canyon in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa captured at sunrise. This is the 3rd largest canyon in the world and also one of the greenest. Nature sure did not disappoint me this morning and it's a location I will be exploring more in the future.

One of the most recognisable animals of Africa has got to be the Elephant. Under a very dramatic stormy sky we came across these two elephants walking across the open plains of the Maasai Mara. The colour image holds its own ground but the black and white reigns supreme.

I spent several days in Namibia in 2009 and Deadvlei although well traversed and well photographed still offers many unique opportunities for a landscape photographer. Having seen so many thousands of images of this iconic world heritage site I tried something different and I have a soft spot for the resulting image.

If there is one place in the world to see a Cheetah in an environment that shows it off best, that place is the Maasai Mara. I had numerous sightings of Cheetah on my last trip there and this particular Cheetah sat for some time posing for us Papparazzi and she seemed to really enjoy the attention.

On a hot summer's night in Namibia under a starry sky I captured this image of some Quiver trees against the beautiful night sky. The clouds which I first thought may be a nuisance that night turned out to be a perfect element for the image and add a whole new dimension.

The Maasai Mara certainly holds many opportunities for the landscape photographer, granted it's not the cheapest detsination in the world but well worth it. This particular morning the most amazing glow from the sun just created the most idyllic scene I've seen in some time.
