On Saturday a group of friends and I went to drive the sand dunes in Vlees Bay. We only got really stuck once, which did take a good half an hour of digging to free the jeep! Check out the photos to see the adventure we had.

posted by hazel vint
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.

Monkey Land and Birds of Eden Shoot
posted by hazel vint
Monkey World and Birds of Eden really tested my photo skills. The animals were moving fast and most of the shots were either in low lighting or patchy light. Having thought I captured nothing good, you can see here that some of them actually came out quite beautiful! Enjoy looking.
