These are a few of these new images!
Recently a lot of people have asked me what applications I use on my smart devices (I got an iPhone 6Plus and an iPad Pro 12.9″).
I have used and tested many (hundreds) of apps for many different purposes (I own an iPhone since the original version came onto the market). Currently I have about 150 installed on my phone and I use about half of them regularly, the others not so frequently. Whenever possible I will use paid apps, because I believe that the creator of an app should be rewarded and most free apps have some serious shortcomings (either adverts and/or limited functionality). On my iPad I use some additional apps which make use of the Apple Pen.
Here are my favorite nine smart phone apps (for photo end video editing):

And this is a video which I took with my iPhone and it was edited with VideoShop:

Panthera – the only organization in the world that is devoted exclusively to the conservation of the world’s 38 wild cat species and their ecosystems – selected one of my pictures as January’s Photo of the Month. I work as partner photographer for Panthera for over 10 years. More information about Panthera at www.panthera.org.
I took this picture of a female Leopard in July 2007 on Phinda Private Game Reserve as part of the Munyawana Leopard Project.
And this is another shot from the same ‘photo shoot’ 🙂

It is custom to have a look at the previous year when the new one has just started.
For me it has been a good year. I enjoy my life and work in the South African bush as much as when I moved here in 2012. Since then I have led over 1,000 game drives, I have had over 1,600 Big Five sightings, I taught over 900 people my way of motion/wildlife photography and I have written over 900 blog posts.
Today I would like to share with you some of my favorite pictures of 2016: One wildlife picture per month and a bonus scenery picture 🙂 – Thank you for following my blog!
I hope you will enjoy my photographer’s picks for 2016 and I hope that all of us will have a good 2017!
I wish all my friends around the world a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2017!
With my very best wishes from South Africa – Christian
PS: The holiday greetings above are in isiZulu!
I really enjoyed being part of this celebration, helping preparing the event and then taking pictures during the evening. Thanks to Isabella and Anthony for their friendship and for having me on Pakamisa so often. The 20 year anniversary celebration was my 30th stay at this magnificent place 🙂
PS: Most of the songs which Lana and Victor performed could have been requested by me. So many of my favorites – from Verdi’s Traviata, over Pucchini’s Turandot, past Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera all the way to Frank Sinatra’s My Way 🙂
In 1996, I arrived with some of my horses from Spain with the Lodge opening to the public in 2001. This year we celebrate Pakamisa’s 20 year Anniversary.
Last month we had a special celebration with guests from the Pongola area. As a great surprise Lana English & Victor Siljeur, two superb classical singers, performed beautiful opera arias and musical pieces for an enchanted audience.
From a mountainous Austria …
… to the Rolling Hills of Zululand
From a reception with a presentation …
… to a festive dinner with classical music
Lana English & Victor Siljeur performing opera arias and musical favourites
Isabella Stepski and Lana English, friends since many years
Pakamisa’s El Prado restaurant was the perfect venue for this unique 63 guests celebration
