Sunset Tree Climbing
This young lion decided to go on an adventure while the rest of the pride was relaxing on the warm ground. It was difficult to capture this photo as it was already 17:30 and the light was disappearing, however I’m happy with how the last bit of sun light illuminated the lion and tree to create depth in the image.

There’s something special about this image. I particularly love the muted lighting, the diagonal composition; and how you’ve incorporated the lioness’s gaze to follow up the tree branches. The soft muted hues create a dramatic effect. Congratulations on your well-deserved Photo Award!

Excellent, Deon! Fantastic black and white conversion too! I think it was Chase Jarvis who said, “The best camera is the one that’s with you”—so why not use your mobile phone! Just a heads-up for next time: post your mobile shots in the mobile photography group, where they’ll be competing with other mobile camera shots.

First time I properly used Photopills. Had to figure out where to position myself to be in the right spot for the moonrise just behind the Cape Recife Lighthouse. Luckily the weather played along.
Took 3 bracketed shots in anticipation of doing an HDR, but in the end it was very difficult to correctly merge them without making the moon look fake.…Read More

Excellent execution, and well done on your Photo Award! I’m glad to see you using PhotoPills—I’m still only using the basics like checking light cycles, not determining the precise position of the sun and moon as you did here. It would be fantastic if you could explain your process at the next ProLounge meeting.

Devilish Thoughts
Going through old photos, I re-discovered photos I had taken while attending the DPC Studio Lighting course MANY years ago (pre-Covid and before Studio 012). Unfortunately I cannot remember the model’s name, she was actually a make-up artist by trade, and an incredible subject. Converted the photo to black and white for more…Read More2 Comments-
I still remember this studio lighting workshop! The harsh, directional light and the black-and-white conversion are perfect for the model—this definitely deserves a feature! I’d love to edit it during the next ProLounge meeting.

“”Gawking in Yosemite”
I often find that the bustling photographers make a more interesting subject than the real “subject”.
Came across this old shot of mine while cleaning up my Lightroom catalogue.

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.
