Jako Poolman. Spider web 1, Chartwell AH (Jhb) October 2023
I’m not sure if this is landscape or wildlife. But it seems to fit here. Took this while testing the new 50mm Rf 1.8 lens. Loved the bokeh of the light filtering through the leaves.

Jako Pooman. Norwood Model #1, Norwood (Jhb) March 2023
DPC Basic Course Portrait Workshop during March 2023. It was right after the basic course, so my fingers were still figuring the camera out. But this shot did not come out too bad, even though the aperture was not perfect for the portrait.

Great portrait, Jako, especially the expression and toning. However, this portrait could be enhanced by slightly darkening the highlights and a bit of skin retouching.

Jako Poolman. Golden Shimmer, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
After a couple of failed attempts, a morning finally arrived with only a few wisps of clouds in the sky. I caught this using the 2-stop, three-photo HDR technique right at the edge of golden hour and absolutely loved the golden colours.

Jako Poolman. Stormy Clouds, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
Had it all planned out to catch the sunrise, but it was heavily overcast this morning. Nearing the end of what was supposed to be the “Golden Hour”, I was still taking pics of these amazing, stormy cloud formations using the 2-stop HDR technique. So maybe no sun, but still had an opp…Read More

Jako Poolman. Boat launch, Rocky Bay (December 2023)
Got up early (around 3 am) to catch the sunrise, but it was heavily overcast this morning. These guys just launched their boat and sat on this wave for about 10 minutes before turning around and charging it with more vigour, breaking into the open sea and heading for those stormy clouds.…Read More

WHAT HAPPENS TO DOF WHEN YOUR SUBJECT IS CLOSE TO THE CAMERA?
Pros and Cons of long telephoto lenses – (continuation)FIRST IMAGE:
1/1250sec – f/4 – ISO 640 – Nikon D5 – Nikon 600mm Lens
FOCUS DISTANCE: 10 metersHaving the focal plane a short distance from the image plane renders shallow DOF. Conversely, the farther the image plane i…Read More

SECOND IMAGE:
1/400 sec – f/4 – ISO 640 – Nikon D5 – Nikon 600mm Lens
FOCUS DISTANCE: 8,91 METERSFor the same focal length and same aperture setting, getting physically closer to the subject will give shallower DOF and more background bokeh. In other words, less of your subject will be sharp in focus.

Maybe we should call it..mini wildlife. It’s a beautiful image, Jako, and it’s nice to see that you don’t miss the small things in Nature, which are also important and part of wildlife.
