Namibia Bushmen, Namibia, 1997

Photo: Namibia Bushmen
"Figures in a mirage, Bushmen wearing skins and carrying bows and arrows cross a salt pan in Namibia's Nyae Nyae Conservancy. Use of guns, dogs, and horses is restricted, so they hunt the traditional way. They live in a village built to lure tourists, and most days they wear Western clothes."

—From "Bushmen," February 2001, National Geographic magazine

Long Exposures

When making long exposures, use a remote release to avoid camera movement. If you don't have a remote release, use the camera's self-timer.
