    Another attempt at a longer exposure of a factory framed nicely by the highway bridge. The very high f-stop was mostly to be able to get the longer exposure time, using a variable ND filter.

  • 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

    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.

    Image from a recent walk with Danie and some students from DPC in Norwood. When I saw this image I immediately thought of waterfalls. Three images stitched together into panorama and then edited in Photoshop.

    • 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, Hennie; your exposure is spot-on, and your image is sharp, clean and well-presented. That is the result when your in-camera settings are spot on. Well done, Hennie! To improve your composition, consider leaving a little more imaginary space to compensate for the horse’s legs at the bottom of the frame and a little less…Read More

      • Hi Bruna, does this look better ? I initially went for the tighter crop becasue the horizontal line of grass at the bottom seemed to clash with the diagonal line the horses made.

    • Thank you for posting this beautiful image, Hennie. Your image is sharp, clean and well-presented. What adds impact to this image is the exposure. Underexposing the background and adding light to your subject instead created mood and mystery. It’s a well-balanced composition; well done Hennie.
