In 2017, I was in Zambia (South Luanga) for a gorgeous safari tour. I was lucky enough to encounter a troup of wild dogs there. And they were nice enough to let us shoot photos, including a couple of successful hunts. Wild dogs of Zambia.

My post-processing tools
Years ago, I was using Adobe Bridge and Adobe Photoshop for nearly all my work. That was the obvious choice at the time, the software tools were reasonably priced.
