Jako Poolman. Office Chairs, BMT College (Jhb) March 2023
Probably not street photography in the strictest sense, but this was not meant as architectural photography. I just loved this image of the two chairs against the criss-cross of the security gate in the background.

Jako Poolman. Quadrants, Norwood (Jhb) March 2023
DPC Basic Course, Street photography workshop in Norwood. This should probably be part of a series, but I like this composition and it was the first time I took the nifty fifty out for a spin.

Jako Poolman. Spider web 1, Chartwell AH (Jhb) October 2023
I’m not sure if this is landscape or wildlife. But it seems to fit here. Took this while testing the new 50mm Rf 1.8 lens. Loved the bokeh of the light filtering through the leaves.

Jako Poolman. Golden Shimmer, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
After a couple of failed attempts, a morning finally arrived with only a few wisps of clouds in the sky. I caught this using the 2-stop, three-photo HDR technique right at the edge of golden hour and absolutely loved the golden colours.

Jako Poolman. Stormy Clouds, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
Had it all planned out to catch the sunrise, but it was heavily overcast this morning. Nearing the end of what was supposed to be the “Golden Hour”, I was still taking pics of these amazing, stormy cloud formations using the 2-stop HDR technique. So maybe no sun, but still had an opp…Read More

Jako Poolman. Boat launch, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
Got up early (around 3 am) to catch the sunrise, but it was heavily overcast this morning. These guys just launched their boat and sat on this wave for about 10 minutes before turning around and charging it with more vigour, breaking into the open sea and heading for those stormy clouds.…Read More

BMT College September 2023
Applied my new-found knowledge and shot a few portraits of our personnel. Still a couple of hiccups and fine-tuning and learning ahead. But a couple of the images came out looking not too bad, like this picture of Leandra.

DPC Studio Workshop at Studio012 in August 2023.
It was awesome working with Sascha, even though she probably ended up helping more with the photo-taking part.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. More shots from the day. The costumes and get-ups lend themselves to monochrome creations. Even missed a couple of the set-ups, but it was all worth it.
Luke reconned it was time for a bite.

Steampunk Workshop at Studio012 in July 2023. Different costumes, different models, and amazing hair and make-up by Amanda. Had to borrow a camera from a friend because the Canon 2000D didn’t work with the triggers.
Melissa was a great sport during the shoot.

Maybe we should call it..mini wildlife. It’s a beautiful image, Jako, and it’s nice to see that you don’t miss the small things in Nature, which are also important and part of wildlife.
