Meerkats of the Kalahari
Matthew and I have recently added a gallery of Meerkat photos to Burrard-Lucas.com. The photographs were taken in the Kalahari Desert (Botswana) over the course of two days last year.
The temptation would have been for us to both use telephoto lenses but we wanted to try and get a fresh perspective by showing the Meerkats in their environment. We therefore worked as a team with one person using a long lens to capture portraits while the other scrambled around on the floor with a wide angle lens!
We have split our photographs into two galleries: Meerkat Portraits and Meerkat Groups.
Here are a few of our favorite photographs:

Stunning pictures. You’ve really captured the emotional flavor of the meerkats and their environment. Beautifully done!
