Pretty happy with this quick cellphone snap while out on an early morning run recently.

I recently had the pleasure of staying over at Cathedral Peak hotel in the Drakensberg . Got a few cool shots while I was there 🙂

Lukr Brouwers Photography “Sunset in Etosha” Namibia 2022
Sunsets in Etosha, Namibia are nothing short of magical—a daily spectacle that paints the vast African sky with a kaleidoscope of color. The sky transforms into a canvas of deep oranges, fiery reds, and soft purples.
CANON90D 1/80sec@f/4.5, ISO400 105mm(EF 24-105) Tripod used.

Walking in the fields of the the estate, capturing the beauty of nature your eye catches a broken flower. Taking this photo is a pure replica of how you feel at times, broken inside but having to put on a brave face for the world around. As the flowers colour is still shining bright so will our passion shine when you do something you love. #Trav…Read More

Out in the bush on a Game Drive, you look at life from different viewpoints.
In this image my goal was to capture the outdoors with the look of older image quality #BlackAndWhitePhotography with emphasis on the depth of the clouds in the background you notice the distance that is endless in the photo. #TravelPhotography #LandscapePhotograph…Read More

First time I properly used Photopills. Had to figure out where to position myself to be in the right spot for the moonrise just behind the Cape Recife Lighthouse. Luckily the weather played along.

Took 3 bracketed shots in anticipation of doing an HDR, but in the end it was very difficult to correctly merge them without making the moon look fake.…Read More

These two photos were taken near Kukonje Island at sunset. The first photo was shot at 560mm, 1/4000 sec, f/7.1, ISO 800. The second photo was captured at 560mm, 1/1250 sec, f/6.3, ISO 800. I really like how the zoom makes the sun appear larger.

Took this picture in January last year, it is quite tricky trying to co-ordinate the tides in the UK. The difference between low and high tide are so big, that you can get to a beach and there is no water for a few hundred metres, versus not being able to get on the beach because its completely covered the sand in some places. On this night I had…Read More

How to Photograph the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights season has now drawn to a close. However, the next couple of seasons could be very special indeed for auroras chasers. Join me as I discuss the beauty of the Northern Lights, some of the science behind them, and how I capture this magical experience. Back in October last year, I visited Iceland for 10 magical days, travelling around the country in a camper van, chasing the auroras. Out of the 10 days, I saw the auroras seven nights, which for Iceland, is quite special. The weather in Iceland can be pretty unpredictable, but I had amazing fortune on my journey.
