Tequila Sunrise
Tequila, orange juice and grenadine for the “sunrise”
Playing with some backlighting to try and get that glowing warm look. I used flash coming in from the right back, with a white reflector to lift the shadows in the front a bit.
Taken with my Canon 650D and my Canon 100mm macro lens, on a tripod.
1/200 sec, f11,…Read More

Title: ‘Sunrise at Scottburgh’

I think the interesting cloud formation added significantly to this image. No, it’s not AI!

John, your photo is outstanding and certainly merits a weekly award. To elevate it further, consider increasing the contrast in the sky to add more drama and depth. Additionally, the watermark in the bottom left stands out significantly due to its stark contrast against the darker background, inadvertently drawing attention…Read More-
Thanks so much for the comment. Much appreciated. Apologies for the watermark. My system appends it automatically. I try to remember to leave it off as it does affect the balance of the image. Re-submission on its way shortly

This was an image I took many years ago and posted on the then Photocritic where I was fortunate enough to win the Photographer of the year at DPC. I am sure Danie will remember that.

I’m so jealous of your New Zealand photos! It is definitely still a bucket-list destination for us.

Hi Rosalie. New Zealand is a photographers dream but so is SA, the only difference being in NZ they are so geared up for hikers etc and everything is pretty close. But if you ever get a chance you must go.

This photo exudes a dynamic quality, as if the water is in motion, despite it being a still image. The haziness at the top centre adds an ethereal touch, enhancing the overall mystical feel.-
Thank you very much Danie.

Beautiful interaction between a leopard and her cub. Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve.
Shot with Cannon 60D, ISO400, 1/800 sec at f/5
Would love some thoughts!

What a gorgeous shot! And such lovely backlighting, making those whiskers glow. Only suggestion from me would be to use a smaller aperture if possible (maybe f8) next time, to get both animals in pin-sharp focus. (I tend to make the same mistake, especially if I shoot in shutter priority, which is why I mention it.) But I know with wildlife, and…Read More

Hi Rosalie. Thanks so much for your feedback – really appreciate it!

I totally agree with you, Rosalie. Did you use a 70-300mm lens here? The reason why I ask is that 300mm will have a huge impact on the DOF as well.

Jess, capturing a moment like this is truly a privilege. Your Leopard shots are strong contenders for a weekly award. However, there’s potential to enhance them significantly with some refined editing in Lightroom. I encourage you to submit all three images to our upcoming Pro Live Edit session. We’ll share the date and link in…Read More -
It was a special moment, Jessica, and you captured it well.

I love how you got the background so soft and blurry. I’m fascinated by the white tips on the ears.

Thanks for this insight full article. I know how much you love working with the nifty-fifty and encourage students not to shy away from it.

awesome article Danie!!! very helpful..thank you.xxx

Love the article, and refresher on the nifty-fifty, Danie. The Canon EF 50mm was also my first extra lens upon your recommendation, and I haven’t regretted the purchase for one day. Thanks!

Thanks Danie. On the back of this article, I decided to get both the 35 and 50mm F2 fuji lenses and used them at an informal evening work function which I volunteered to take photos of. I ended up using both, the 50 in the afternoon and then just stuck with the 35 for the rest of the evening and was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out, especially in the low light conditions. I still have a lot to learn, but I enjoyed the experience and it open my eyes and mind to the benefits of sticking to a single focal length.

What an informative article. I have just done an informal birthday get together and used my 50mm throughout the evening although i did have a standard kit lens as a backup. I spent the entire day with my 50mm as i was so captivated with its capabilities as I am also still discovering my style. It is a wonderful lens to get you to interact with your (client) to get that perfect shot.
I must admit I am loving the challenges of this lens as I am also discovering how to approach various people with a lot more confidence than my usual shy personality.
