November - December 2020

Gauteng-based Karen Seidel began photography as a hobby some 10 years ago and soon realised that her passion lay in capturing images of wildlife and nature.

Water WINGS

She made it a mission to find and photograph new destinations.Like most of us, she initially found bird photography to be challenging, but it soon became one of her favourite themes. After realising how much can be learned from each species, Karen began spending more time watching, appreciating and capturing images of birds. She has developed a knack for catching the ‘exact moment’ of them in action and this talent is reflected in the aquatic-themed images in this portfolio. www.karenseidel.com

ALTHOUGH I HAVE been taking photographs since 1998, it wasn't until 2019 that my hobby evolved into a serious pursuit. That's when I began to see photography not just as a means of capturing a moment, but as a form of art - something that can stir emotion, spark wonder and tell a deeper story.

grassland GLADIATORS

The Secretarybird is a highly soughtafter species for most birders on their first visit to Africa. It looks so strange, like a cross between a stork and an eagle. Even though it is widespread, occurring in almost any suitable habitat (grassland, open savanna and Karoo shrubland), it's generally uncommon.
