Capturing wildlife on film is easier said than done. The larger buck species,
such as the eland, kudu, blesbok and wildebeest don't pose quite the challenges of the smaller reedbuck,
duiker and klipspringer. Nature has bestowed on them a skittish temperament for their own protection.
To see one of these delicate creatures is fortunate. To have a camera in hand, elusive.
