Lukr Brouwers Photography “Sunset in Etosha” Namibia 2022

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

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.
