    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

    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.

    Cropped. Linear gradient to darken the foreground, and background.

    • 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.

    • Hennie, I was hoping someone would be brave enough to post one of our low-angle shots of the weekend. Your image is well-exposed, and the composition works very well. Your image is clean and well-presented. What adds image impact is the motion blur in the wings, which is perfect; however, although your image appears to be sharp, the eyes seem…Read More

      • Thank you Bruna. Yes, the focus on the eyes seem soft. If I look closely, it seems I focused on the chest of the rear duck. It was one of those moments where I saw the movement happening from the corner of my eye, turned and had to shoot, or I would have missed the moment.
