  • While stopping for lunch one day on safari, I noticed some termites crawling up the bark of a tree, swiftly followed by a pair of greedy lizards. I grabbed my macro lens but soon realised capturing the fast moving action with such a shallow depth of field was not as easy as I envisaged. Fortunately the lizards continued to hunt the defenceless termites and after numerous failed attempts, eventually one stayed still long enough for me to capture it mid-mouthful.
