  • Beaunard Grobler. Early morning at the KZN Wild Coast during late summer 2022.
    Canon EOS R, EF 24-104 F4/L IS USM at 1/20 sec at f/4.0 – ISO 100.
    Red colour in the water of the sunrise attraced me. Sugarcane fields were burning from some distance in the area, adding the orange to red glow.

    • The shot everybody wants. Such a pity the sun was too harsh.

      • Hi Bruna. Light was not bad at all. I blew out the background in post to hopefully give more impact and focus to the bird. But maybe I overcooked it? Here it is with the background. I would appreciate your thoughts.

    In Germany, you did not buy something second-hand—it is a social necessity to look successful. For me, it is not. Canada offered an interesting contrast.

    In his book “On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft”, Stephen King writes about leaving something for the imagination, not over-describing a scene. He conjures up the image of a red number 8 on the back of a rabbit in a cage. And, according to the King, each person will conjure up…Read More

    • Thank you for sharing, Jako, and for taking the time to contribute to our Photo Digest. Interestingly, we’ve already featured “Pepper No. 30” in the Fine Art Group, but we find your write-up more engaging.
