It’s Friday, and it’s time to share some amasing images captured by our DPC members during our Chobe Safari in Botswana in March this year. We were there for eight days and went out early every morning and every afternoon until we were blessed with the most beautiful sunsets before we returned to our Hotel.
Most of us experienced…Read More1 Comment -

Beautiful B&W conversion Bruno, just my opinion, have you considered cropping a little more at the bottom? maybe just underneath the knee so it doesn’t look like you amputated the legs?

Love the article, and refresher on the nifty-fifty, Danie. The Canon EF 50mm was also my first extra lens upon your recommendation, and I haven’t regretted the purchase for one day. Thanks!

Thanks Danie. On the back of this article, I decided to get both the 35 and 50mm F2 fuji lenses and used them at an informal evening work function which I volunteered to take photos of. I ended up using both, the 50 in the afternoon and then just stuck with the 35 for the rest of the evening and was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out, especially in the low light conditions. I still have a lot to learn, but I enjoyed the experience and it open my eyes and mind to the benefits of sticking to a single focal length.

Oats and Blueberries
Going out of my comfort zone and playing around with dark and moody for a change. It was really interesting how much work I had to do to cut down the light, especially for the background, to get the feeling I was going for.

Rosalie, congratulations on a job well done. The way you’ve manipulated depth is commendable, with the blueberries leading the viewer’s eye from the foreground to the background seamlessly. The composition is well-balanced, focusing on the three primary elements: the bowl at the forefront, the blueberries to the left, and…Read More-

I am an amateur/enthusiast/hobbyist photographer looking to improve my technique and find my style. Right now, I enjoy all types of photography. I lean more towards the challenge of street photography and enjoy the mix of technicality, composition, and creativity of studio work.
As an educator and Vice-Principal of BMT College, I get to do what I love, by creating opportunities for people to learn and improve their worlds.
I absolutely believe that every one of us has infinite potential, but that our purpose for existence is only a fraction for ourselves and mostly for other people.
Focus on and enjoy the process, the work, the grind. Have fun. The rest will follow.
Unforgetable memories, thanks Bruna
