About Charl Stols ►
Charl Stols born and raised in South Africa. He began his journey in photography when he took a position on a cruise vessel as a resident photographer in 2003. The cruise ship was not only the place he discovered a passion for photography but also the place where Charl met his wife Sabine who is since sharing that passion with him.
Being from South Africa it was always a dream to become a wildlife photographer which is why we spent most of our vacations in the National Parks of Africa. Charl and Sabine were very fortunate to make their dream come true when they were offered positions as photographic hosts by Pangolin Photo Safaris in 2015.

    Dear Sabine, Charl and Janine .... hoping to obtain your advice on what i'm doing wrong with my 5D Mk IV with a Canon 300 mm f2.8. I'm currently in the only reserve for Asiatic lions, in the Gir forest of West India. None of the eyes of the lions and lionesses I have taken today are 'tack sharp' as they should be - and that is quite frustrating as I'm doing what I think is right. I handheld the camera at sunset with 1/640 shutter speed, with a single point AF focus clearly on the eye of the lion, with a reasonable f6.3 and ISO 1250. Is the shutter speed low? Should I use a smaller aperture? It would be very kind of any of you if I could share a few images and obtain your feedback. .... many thanks, Harsh Singh Lohit. India.
