  • Tequila Sunrise

    Tequila, orange juice and grenadine for the “sunrise”

    Playing with some backlighting to try and get that glowing warm look. I used flash coming in from the right back, with a white reflector to lift the shadows in the front a bit.

  • Oats and Blueberries

    Going out of my comfort zone and playing around with dark and moody for a change. It was really interesting how much work I had to do to cut down the light, especially for the background, to get the feeling I was going for.

      Rosalie, congratulations on a job well done. The way you’ve manipulated depth is commendable, with the blueberries leading the viewer’s eye from the foreground to the background seamlessly. The composition is well-balanced, focusing on the three primary elements: the bowl at the forefront, the blueberries to the left, and…Read More

    Probably not street photography in the strictest sense, but this was not meant as architectural photography. I just loved this image of the two chairs against the criss-cross of the security gate in the background.

    DPC Basic Course, Street photography workshop in Norwood. This should probably be part of a series, but I like this composition and it was the first time I took the nifty fifty out for a spin.

  • 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.

    • 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.

    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.

    This photo by Sarah Moon features a close-up of a female model holding a small parrot. The focus on the bird and the person’s lips, along with the blurred background, creates a strong contrast and draws attention to the striking complementary colour palette -…Read More

    This is one of McCurry’s favourite images, a striking composition—a group of women huddled together amidst a dust storm with some pots in the foreground, anchoring the frame and bare trees in the background. The ethereal desert setting is brought to life with a war…Read More
