Dr. Johan Botha, an award-winning wildlife photographer from South Africa, will speak at a meeting of the Delaware Photographic Society. Dr. Botha’s program is “Photography of Wildlife in Action,” during which he will show images of wildlife in action taken by he and his wife Margie while on African safaris and trips to North and South America and also discuss photographic techniques used. The meeting is free and open to the public. Dr. Botha holds a PhD in organic chemistry. He started with photography as a hobby in 1991 and immediately got intensely involved. Dr. Botha says it is very rewarding to capture wildlife in any form of action. He said it forces him to acquire knowledge of the species he is photographing in order to be able to predict when and where the action is going to take place; it teaches him to always sharpen his photographic skills; and most of all it teaches him to be patient.
