De Hoop, South Africa

posted by

What an amazingly beautiful place, De Hoop has safari for animals, like deer, zebra, baboons, ostrich etc…  But it also has sand dunes and ocean with sandy beaches and rock pools to play in.  One of my favourite places in South Africa so far.

Night time shoot at De Hoop, South Africa

posted by

The night time shoot was a lot of fun, still unsure as to how successful it was, but fun all the same.  We played around with light to create the tree and the faces and then long exposures for the stars.

Macro Lens at “De Hoop”, South Africa

posted by

I love the macro lens, it makes even the most uninteresting objects appear exciting.  I got totally lost at De Hoop in my own little Macro world, small plants became trees and little ants became a meter long in my mind.   Go find your Macro world!

Birds of Eden Second Shoot, South Africa

posted by

Birds of Eden this time round was a much more enjoyable and less stressful experience.  Even at feeding time when I definitely felt i had become one of the birds getting so close and being involved with the squabbling for food!  Macaws wings are surprisingly large and strong!

The second chum trip was a lot of fun, saw a couple of great white sharks, but have to say that actually the highlight was playing with a seal we named Savannah.  She was very cute and came right up to the boat spraying us with water.  This time there was no sea sickness and […]

Jukani take 2, South Africa

posted by

The second time to Jukani was not amazing as the weather was terrible and I didn’t have a rain cover for my camera.  Hence the lack of many exciting photos.  Either way there is still something to look at.  🙂

Garden Route Game Lodge

posted by

The Garden Route Game Lodge was a great place for photographing.  It was also a good insight into what is necessary for a game lodge day in day out, we followed around the workers watching them check fences, deal with erosion, general check up of animals in the park and feeding of breeding cheetahs.  Definitely […]

360 Degree Photos

posted by

I have been having a lot of artistic fun with the 360 photos.  I like creating mini worlds of the places around me.  This is a surprisingly easy method and I think the more I do them, the more I understand about making even better mini worlds.  I will definitely play around more with the […]

After the seal dive it was decided that another practice pool session was needed.  It was so so cold, the poor children were shivering!
