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

CANON90D 1/20sec@f32, ISO100 150mm(EF100-400)
I am not a big wildlife photographer like Bruna, whose work I absolutely love but when you get given an oppurtunity do not let it pass. This is a bit of ICM to create this effect

Luke Brouwers “Yesteryear” Pretoria 2015
CANON 70D 1/160sec@f/11 ISO100, 10-20mm Sigma
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.

So little but says so much through the power of tonality. Well done with this feature, Luke!

About Me
Photography is an art medium that speaks to me the most as an outlet for my creativity. I especially love landscape and architectural photography. Landscape photography gives one time to think, discover and create. It gives me great pleasure to find silence, solitude, simplicity and sometimes coincidence and surprises in nature.
Over the years I have discovered I am naturally draw to black and white (B&W) images, especially in B&W architecture. The biggest reason, other than the timeless appeal of B&W, lies in the fact that B&W architectural photography, by its nature, gives me more freedom to depart from the visual reality. Therefore, for me, the joy of being creative comes from identifying the underlying beauty and potential from a more visible and obvious colour reality, then transforming it to a black and white vision. This holds true for landscape photography as well.
My use of natural light, tonal contrast, colour, texture, and movement are the qualities I look for when I am out there and what makes my images unique. Through my images, I want to offer the world my perspectives and express my connections with the subjects that I capture.
Thank you for posting Luke. Nice to see that you are exploring slow shutter speed for an creative look and feel. Just remember, the background plays a huge roll in creative blur. Next time , try a lower angle to eliminate the background and fill your frame with the Zebra’s instead. Don’t stop trying as it is very rewarding when you get it perfect.
