After an interesting talk from Danie last night where he gave some practical tips when it comes to shooting Architecture, interior and exterior, I thought I share some images I took together with Danie at Mall of Africa. This was a good couple of years ago and all these images were bracketed for the dynamic range. My biggest regret from then was…Read More

Luke Brouwers “Zebras” Etosha Pan, Namibia 2022
CANON90D 1/20sec@f32, ISO100 150mm(EF100-400)
I am not a big wildlife photographer like Bruna, whose work I absolutely love but when you get given an oppurtunity do not let it pass. This is a bit of ICM to create this effect

Luke Brouwers “Yesteryear” Pretoria 2015
CANON 70D 1/160sec@f/11 ISO100, 10-20mm Sigma
This is a bracketed exposure and then edited in Photomatix to give it that HDR effect( Still one of my favourite effects). Those of you who know Pretoria will recognize it as the old drive in on top of the Menlyn Shopping centre.

Well done, Hennie. Your image is sharp, and you handled the exposure perfectly. You have captured the mood and drama for impact. You mentioned that you had cropped the picture; consider leaving a little more space at the bottom of your frame, as it feels slightly tight and crop somewhat more to the right for a better balance. Well done Hennie!!

Hi Bruna, does this look better ? That black line all along the bottom of the branch was very distracting to me; I tried fixing it using brush masks, but no matter what I did I could not make it look natural, so I gave up and went for the tight crop instead.

This looks much better with a little more space to contain the subject in the frame. The branch is an anchor point for the bird to rest on. That is why it is important to include that as well. Without the branch, the subject seems to fall out of the frame, and the composition feels unbalanced to the viewer.

Thank you for posting Luke. Nice to see that you are exploring slow shutter speed for an creative look and feel. Just remember, the background plays a huge roll in creative blur. Next time , try a lower angle to eliminate the background and fill your frame with the Zebra’s instead. Don’t stop trying as it is very rewarding when you get it perfect.
