This drone shot is a mountain pass in the Little Karoo region of South Africa.

The geology of this area belongs to the Cape Fold mountains, categorized by its folding and faulted rock.

Had some time away from the city during the festive season.

Rest and some adventures were on the cards. I was testing out my new drone and grabbed these shots. 📸

We drove through two passes. 🛤

One featuring a dry gravel road that winds below cliffs and tall folds of mountains. ⛰️

The other was a more accessible road that rose over greener hills with high vantage points overlooking a river below. 🏞

New opportunities with my new drone 🫡

Really excited, especially since South Africa boasts some of the best landscapes for photography 💥

Any tips or tutorials you could share for us ignorant types haha

Expecting my first purchase of a drone in the next few days 😁

This shot was taken off the highway an hour outside Cape Town in the farmlands.

My wish at the time was to get a drone to fly between the hills, through the soft mist that had settled during the morning.

Nonetheless I was stoked to grab this photo that I stitched together into a panorama.

The black and white edit had a more appealing feel for me in the end.

I was fishing by the Breede River mouth and took a break from a slow return of catches 🎣

.

Fair to say I had my camera ready in my backpack and had a striking moment capturing this crab in its environment.

Throwback to a holiday in Maine a few years back 🌅 Pemaquid Lighthouse serving up a show with an amazing sunset full of pastel colour's. Still remember racing against time to get a nice composition before the light began to fade.

Hey everyone 👋 it’s been a minute since I last posted! Thought I’d check in and share a little piece of autumn in Maine with you. The colors out there are unreal 🍁🍂 Hope you’re all doing well — feels good to be back.

Hey boet. Yes I follow this account, but not on Nostr 😁 Will keep an eye out 👁

Surprise you got zapped !

Frogging for Friday 🐸🗓

.

Hope everyone is having a rad week, feels like the past 2-3months have been non-stop 😎🤓

.

Although I don't work as a full-time photographer, I always make time by going over shots and looking for more inspiration online. 🫡

The most insane experience of a lighting storm i have encountered was on a finishing trip with friends by a river.

.

We all sat on the stoep (porch) and we watched in awe for a few hours as nature gave off a crazy display of colour's and thunderous explosions in the clouds.

.

Nevertheless I kept running my camera on a long shutter setting over and over. I was more impressed by the show that I didn't even bother to review each of my shots . Thats the beauty of the moment and not just focusing so much on the camera.

Sitting at home keeping warm, watching a fishing show. River Monsters presented by Jeremy Wade. Good fun ! 🌧 🎣 🐟🦈

.

This shot was also taken on the same day as my previous post. 🌊

I think it should be printed. 🖼

Can anyone spot me some tips for a perfect print ?💪🏻

I know a trusted photography printing store and I have some knowledge but any tips would help!

Winter has hit us in Cape Town 🌊

.

This is Kalk Bay, a small fishing town and suburb of Cape Town bordering the sea in False Bay.

.

To see these waves it not common. A cold front along with the right swell direction will bring large waves cascading over the breakwater.

🤣 Catch an Elon and Pikachu

Look at it shine ✨️

.

Words can't describe the imagination running through your mind when you look up into the 'endless' abyss of space.

.

Our ancestors created stories and folk tales of creatures and heros whose existence was etched into the stars.

.

That alone creates an experience when you recognize constellations and understand the meaning behind them.

.

Apart from this view I just feel like it would be like no other experience to travel through space, and of course bring a camera along for the ride.

Lining up a few more photos taken in West Yorkshire, England.

Can you believe sunny weather for a whole week in the UK?!

Woodlands stream in the countryside of Chesire, England

I did not have a polariser on hand for glare, but the lighting was soft and the reflecting colour's off the water were incredible.

So right.

We should constantly practice taking in the moment to observe and calm our minds before making the shot. 📸

I'd like to know from you guys - photographer or not, what do you find interesting about Black and White photos? 😁

In this form artistic and expressive qualities, focusing on composition, light, and shadow is emphasized beyond colour.

By becoming more observant of light and how it's acts on the world around us, colour becomes contextual and subjective. Take away colour and you intensify the emotional resonance of an image.
