A popular daytime destination, hillside Bo-Kaap is known for its narrow cobbled streets lined with colorful houses. We stayed in this area close to the start & finish for the Cape Town Cycle Tour.
We are back at Melkbosstrand for the Cape Town Cycle Tour. The sunsets are always just amazing.
Waiting at the starting batches at the Cape Town Cycle Tour, gave me some opportunity to experiment with light and silhouettes.
The Cape Town Cycle Tour is a big event on the cycling calendar. The day before we usually cycle a short distance to make sure all is good for the next day race and have some photo time with interesting sculptures along the route.
Photographing the stars has always been a challenge for me. Last night on a cold winter night in Bloemfontein, I have tried my luck again at capturing the Milky Way.
The Free State also has beautiful sunsets.
Spending time at the beach and the lagoon in Cintsa, I tried my luck at bird photography. I was lucky capturing a few birds in flight like this heron.
Spending time on the beach of Cintsa near East Londen, I captured this crab busy digging in the sand.
My friend Jana loves Cosmos flowers and loves doing crafts with images of Cosmos. On my attempt to capture Cosmos photos, I had one lucky shot with a bee on the flower.
The previous image of raindrops inspired this photo of a fairy capturing a raindrop. Micky was the model for this shoot which was captured in studio. All the plants was captured in my garden.
After the rain yesterday, the raindrops sat like glass beads on the plants.
I have photographed this scene from a fishing village in Cambodia. We took a boat trip through the fishing village. It is always interesting to observe people and their life styles.
The flower dome was listed as the largest glass greenhouse in the world as listed in the Guinness World Records 2015 and hosts flowers and plants from the Mediterranean and semi-arid regions. Changing displays are also done to reflect different seasons and festivals.
Inside the Cloud Forest, there is a waterfall. There are also many walkways between the unique plants.
At the Gardens by the Bay there is two dome buildings. The one is the Cloud forest (the one in front) and the other is the Flower Dome.
I have done many photos of the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore during night time, therefore I want to share some day time photos as well. I usually stroll around the gardens at the Marina Bay Sands before sunset, thereafter I enjoy doing night scapes.
Symmetry was also one of the set subjects at the camera club. I have decided to apply it to a studio shot. Sanelle was the model for this experiment.
I have experimented with Photoshop to create some fake snow. How ironic that Summer (my assistant) was the model for the winter shoot.
Any beach will always remain some of my favorite places. Sunsets are also a beautiful time of the day. On a lucky day like this one the colors were so warm and vibrant.
Celebrating Easter, the cross symbolize the price Jesus paid.
Wishing that we were in Singapore, I am sharing this image with you of the Marina Bay Sands. I always love doing night landscapes there.
This time of the year we usually go on our annual leave. We were planning a trip to Singapore, however our plans changed due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Wishing we could be flying abroad, I am sharing this image of a sunrise over the ocean, taken from the plane of one of our international flights.
The set subject for this month at the camera club was: door handle and it neede to be processed in monochrome.
I did many photos in the UK of forests and mushrooms. Many of the forests look like they could have fairies living there. Therefore I created a fairy forest in Photoshop. Micky was the fairy.
The Shard is a 95-Storey building in London. I took this image from a ferry on river Thames, during mid day. Mid day is not always the best time to take photos, but luckily the clouds on that day helped to create a dramatic look.
A composite is the combination of multiple photos. This one is a combination of a forest I photographed in the UK and one of my studio shoots.
During the music photo shoot, I also took photos for the set subject at the camera club. The set subject for which I took this image was "hands".
I did music themed photo shoot during last year for an audio visual project. I was fortunate that Sharon de Kock, who is a violinist from the Odeon string quartet, participated in the music photo shoot.
At the Bloemfontein Camera Club there is a set subject every month. One of the set subjects was pet interaction, where I photographed my dog Rex with my assistant Micky. Micky is really fond of animals.
