Landscape photography at LL

Co-owner and landscape photographer Alessandro takes a decidedly different angle while looking at the wonders of nature. Surely, if the opportunity presents itself, he takes wildlife shots, but he prefers to aim his camera at the marvels of the eco-system around the Reserve. Read what he has to tell: “Limpopo-Lipadi is part of the sub-tropical woodland ecoregion called bushveld, and it boasts a wilderness with wildlife immersed in a beautifully diverse environment: thick woodland, open plains, rocky outcrops, hills, giant baobabs and many waterholes. A safari drive here is not just aimed at spotting animals. Thanks largely to the diversity of habitats, the landscape changes a lot and offers many photo opportunities also in terms of landscape. I live in the Dolomites, in northern Italy, where I take 99% of my landscape pictures with a tripod. Have you ever thought of using a tripod during a safari? Here it’s possible.  I love Limpopo-Lipadi mainly for the freedom to experience the Reserve at your own pace and almost always without any other vehicle around. This freedom results also in the possibility of sometimes getting off the jeep, although staying close to the vehicle and always listening to the guide’s advice. The photos as shown here are just an example: the solar disk setting in the distance above the bush, colorful clouds reflecting in the ponds on the rock plates, a green baobab in the mist in a rainy day, a storm approaching and pouring rain on the thirsty land, the first stars shining through the branches of an old baobab at dusk, the last light of the day at a waterhole. Wonderful moments of chasing the light!” Want to be a part of Limpopo-Lipadi’s adventures? For discreet information on share sales, contact generalmanager@limpopo-lipadi.org.
