In 2025 I was approached by the coach / chairman / organizer of the American 5-a-side Football League to photograph some of the league matches. It is a very small league, only 3 teams in 2024, but the action was pretty hectic. A5FL uses the same rules as the normal AFL, but it is played on a much smaller field.
The following three teams played in…Read More

(Edit: After some feedback from @daniebester I made some editing changes to this photo to make the elephant cow and calf stand out a bit more)
I am by no means a wildlife photographer, and not really a big fan of the Kruger National Park. Reason being that you drive, and drive, and drive, and rarely see anything. During the December holiday, we…Read More

Nice and sharp. Great composition too! There is a slight halo effect around the wings, which seems like a post processing issue. Fix it and upload again for a feature!

Jacques, I don’t know why we always choose the coldest day of the year to run a street photography course, but it played in ouyr hands here. The person walking up the stairs with hands in pockets adds a nice touch. The structural elements are sharp, contrasting with the motion blur of the subject from using a slow shutter…Read More

After attending the One-day architectural workshop on Sunday, 26 Nov, and the Zoom meeting on Architectural editing, I created the following HDR Panorama.
I wanted to create the feeling of a warm family home at night and went for a warmer edit with the lights in the house. I did a sky replacement in Photoshop and made the sky also a bit…Read More

Jacques, the sky replacement in your Photoshop edit gives the impression of sunset colours, which doesn’t align with the actual shooting conditions of nautical twilight.

Jacques, your use of rim lighting for separation is great, yet the focal point remains unclear as your subject’s brightly lit tattooed forearm commands much visual attention. Considering the subject’s masculine demeanor, it seems you were aiming for a dark, moody portrait. Adding a bit more fill light, or lighting a part of his face in an…Read More
