Lighthouse Rust
Another photo I took recently at the Cape Recife Lighthouse in Port Elizabeth. I loved the texture of the metal and rust on this sign. When you live at the coast, dealing with rust is a big part of your life and something that I am sure the lighthouse keepers have spent a lot of time managing throughout the years.

Inside the Prism
We were lucky to get the opportunity recently to climb up in the Cape Recife Lighthouse in Port Elizabeth and view the lantern. It was an interesting experience, to say the least!
I took this photo with my Samsung, as the lens on my camera wasn’t nearly wide enough to capture the amazing fresnel glass lens in all its glory. I…Read More -

Canon R10 at 55mm, 1/30 sec, f 22, ISO 100 (10 Picture Panorama)
First I took a 3 picture panorama and then I thought why not take a 10 picture Panorama ?

Luminograms are photographic images created by exposing light-sensitive paper directly to light, without using a camera. While researching the technique for our Fine Art Photography Course, I came across this video by Michael Jackson on how he uses this medium to create works of art.

This picture dates back to October 2021. These wasps were nesting close to our backdoor and I had such fun observing them, observing their habits and photographing at the same time. This is a 2 image hand held focus stack which allowed all three the larvae to be in focus. I have decided to revisit some older work to experiment with the newer…Read More

Renate, it’s crucial for photographers to frequently revisit their older work. Firstly, to gauge your growth, and sometimes, after a fresh edit or crop, you might realise you had a gem like this macro shot all along! Congratulations on your feature! -
This is an absolutely stunning shot, and you are really brave for getting so close to a wasp nest! The Canon 100mm Macro lens it is such a great lens, I love mine too.

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.
Lezindie, even though you’re not a pro member, I’m happy to critique this picture. I love the simplicity and the lighting—well done! I would have liked to see a bit more space, especially at the top, as the scene feels grand and could use more room. Adding extra clarity and sharpness, especially around the edges of the mountain, would have enhan…Read More
