Devilish Thoughts
Going through old photos, I re-discovered photos I had taken while attending the DPC Studio Lighting course MANY years ago (pre-Covid and before Studio 012). Unfortunately I cannot remember the model’s name, she was actually a make-up artist by trade, and an incredible subject. Converted the photo to black and white for more…Read More

Southern Red Bishop Side-Eye

I’m going through old photos, and found this photo of a Southern Red Bishop eating and giving me the side-eye, taken at the Marievale Bird Sanctuary. This was taken before I joined DPC and learnt to shoot RAW, so it was shot as a JPEG, which means I didn’t do a lot of editing on it, just cropping and some texture…Read More

Lighthouse Rust

Another photo I took recently at the Cape Recife Lighthouse in Port Elizabeth. I loved the texture of the metal and rust on this sign. When you live at the coast, dealing with rust is a big part of your life and something that I am sure the lighthouse keepers have spent a lot of time managing throughout the years.

Taken with my…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.

Inside the Prism

We were lucky to get the opportunity recently to climb up in the Cape Recife Lighthouse in Port Elizabeth and view the lantern. It was an interesting experience, to say the least!
I took this photo with my Samsung, as the lens on my camera wasn’t nearly wide enough to capture the amazing fresnel glass lens in all its glory. I…Read More

#WildlifeComp2023 #birdphotography

I shot this hungry little Cape White-Eye and its hard-working parents in my garden a week ago. The baby was quite tame and didn’t mind me following them around the garden with my big lens. It wasn’t quite mobile yet, although it could fly short distances and up into the shrubs, and spent…Read More

Photographers Caught Cheating – Some go to great lengths for prizes and fame, even faking their shots, while others get penalized for simple retouching.

Long exposure on Ilford FP4 to create this 6×6 negative using a Mamiya C220 TLR camera.

Film suffers from Reciprocity failure. Reciprocity failure is what happens when, at longer exposures (generally shutter speeds of 1 second or more), the law of reciprocity (you guessed it!) fails!

A film’s emulsion is made up of a layer of silver halide c…Read More
