Galactic Centre

Download Portrait (9x16) version Download Landscape (16x9) version This is a supermassive black hole – the galactic centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. I was able to photograph it on Thursday night around 10.30pm from a field in Grabouw using my trusty Fuji X-T2 and a 16mm lens at f/1.4. 30-seconds of exposure at ISO 400. A perfectly clear sky but a touch of wind – though the tripod seems to have…

Fantasy

This week’s photo is of a jungle planet in a galaxy far, far away. Probably. Or maybe its the futuristic and fantastical landscape of Gardens at the Bay, Singapore. Difficult to tell.

Nightowl

A long-exposure of Nongsa Point Marina at night.

Messy

This week’s portrait is of a very messy toddler enjoying a chocolate ice-cream that his parents shouldn’t have given him.

Texture

For week 18 the theme is “texture” and what better subject than Amy’s island hair.

Urbanscape

One of my favourite “urbanscapes” in the world – Singapore’s downtown taken from Marina Bay at sunrise. I was fortunate to be back in Singapore this week, but didn’t manage to capture the scene, so this is a shot from January 2017.

Movement

Week 16 is a celebration our little guy’s first real walking outing . We took him to the Two Oceans Aquarium and he just loved it (the walking, he was a bit ambivalent about the fish).

Metal

Week 15’s theme is ‘metal’. We bought this decorative globe from a street trader years ago and it’s starting to rust. Shot with the wonderful Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro lens.

Zoomed Landscape

This week’s challenge was to shoot a landscape with a long telephoto lens. I’m quite pleased with the result – rows of vines in Constantia.

High Key

Fun with Amy for this week’s challenge: a high-key portrait.

Reflections at Llandudno

A perfect evening at Llandudno Beach completes Week 11 of 2017.

She waits

This week’s challenge was to find inspiration in transportation. But I had an incredibly busy week and didn’t manage to take a good photograph. So this one is from my failed attempt to take a photo each day in 2014. It counts, right? It’s one of my favourite photos.

Dexter’s Lab

This week’s challenge was to show a subject in their natural habitat. Well, this is Dexter. He’s the Pipeline Supervisor at work and is the glue that holds everything together. His office is a fort made of LCD monitors.

Shadows

Children from a nearby township sing and dance to raise money. Tourists and locals alike are captivated by their energy, as the late afternoon sun casts their shadows across the car-park.

Panoramic

This week’s photo is an uncomplicated shot of my favourite view in the world. This is Kommetjie. It’s where I spent the first 22 years of my life. This week’s challenge was to shoot a panoramic landscape. I (well, Lightroom) stitched together three individual shots to create this image.

Faceless

I’ve been taking an Uber to and from work this week. I’ve made small talk with a lot of drivers. The conversation usually follows the same pattern: A greeting. Some pleasantries or a comment about the weather. A brief conversation about Uber itself. And then its out the car, and they’re off. This week’s theme was Faceless – “tell someone’s story without showing their face”. I was struck by the…

Candy

This week’s theme was Candy. Now I don’t tend to have a sweet tooth… but Turkish Delight is my guilty pleasure. I had such fun taking this week’s photo using the Godox Diffusion Box from ORMS . It’s affordable and provides a super portable space for product photography at home.

Berg River Dam

The Western Cape’s dams are at 38%. Levels are falling at around 1.5% per week as the region enters the hot months of February and March. This week’s theme is Black and White Landscape. I took a drive to Franschoek to shoot the Berg River Dam. It fell below 50% last week. Along with four other dams, it supplies Cape Town with water for residential, industrial and agriculture purposes. We’re…

Babychino Portrait

We were in London this week for Amy and my father to attend the Apple Education leadership series. Ben and I took Granny to breakfast on her birthday. Here’s a post-babychino Benjamin in a Coppa Club pod on the Thames. -->
