Excitement

Excitement

After my later afternoon photo shoot today, I passed again the new stadium in Cape Town. I drove not on the road, I normally use, but Main Road, which is a bit further away from the stadium and then I realized something obvious. This part of town is totally changing. Where it was an area [...]


What’s New At Jürgen’s Photography This Year?

What's New At Jürgen's Photography This Year?

At the beginning of January, I wrote a post called: “Whats’s coming in 2010?” It was a overview of what changed in 2009 and some general ideas, on what I have planned for 2010. Since I started Jürgen’s Photography, I always had the question in my mind on how I can make the experience of [...]

Picture of the Day 1 February 2010

I went for a run this evening at Muizenberg Beach. On my way back to where I started my run, I observed the surfers and was fascinated. It looked like so much fun. The sun was disappearing behind the mountain and I tried to capture the atmosphere of the evening. This is one of the [...]

Picture Of The Day 28 January 2010

I took this shot during sunrise a few months back. I love the atmosphere of the morning light, the warmth and cripness.

On The Mountain

On The Mountain

I spent one night with friends on top of Table Mountain. I captured this view, while we made our way to the hut. Spending time on the mountain is one of the best ways for me to rejuvenate.  It’s one of the things, I haven’t done often enough over the last few months. The climate [...]


Greenpoint Stadium

Greenpoint Stadium

Last night after gym, I made a stop at the newly built soccer stadium in Greenpoint, Cape Town. It was not really a planned decision to visit the stadium that night. After I photographed, the soccer field in Mfuleni, the contrast could not have been bigger. The simple construction of tree beams at the soccer [...]


Nikon Festival – A Runner’s Day In Cape Town

Nikon Festival - A Runner's Day In Cape Town

I spent some time over the last few days to prepare a small movie for the Nikon Festival. The theme was “My day in 140 seconds”. For you Tweeple (Twitter people) the 140 seconds will make sense as we are restricted to 140 characters for our tweets. My idea was to combine things that I [...]


Mfuleni – Soccer Field

Mfuleni - Soccer Field

Today was the last day of my assignment in Mfuleni and while was getting back to my car, I found this soccer field. The soccer world cup is coming to South Africa in 2010, if you haven’t heard yet. This goal post reminded me again that the majority of South Africans learn playing soccer fields [...]


Magical Light

It seems this the part of the time where everyone comes up with top 10 lists of the year. I don’t really have a top 10 list, but some pictures that I took that I really like. All of these pictures are my private work and were not shot as part of an assignment. These [...]


Mfuleni

Mfuleni

I have been working on an assignment in the Mfuleni township (informal settlement) just outside Cape Town over the last few weeks. After I finished today’s work, I passed this shack, with it’s metal sparkle and straight lines. It was one of these occasions, where something looked totally out of place, while being totally in [...]


Review of the 9th Cape Town Photography Meetup

Review of the 9th Cape Town Photography Meetup

We met today the 9th time for our meetup and the 2nd time for our practical photography meetup. We met today at Red Hill to photograph portraits and headshots with ruins of worker’s homes as backdrop. Andre introduced me to this location a couple of months ago. Thanks for all of you, who participated and [...]


Sunset over Table Mountain

Sunset over Table Mountain

On Tuesday night, I went for a run up Lion’s Head. It turned out to be more a walk than a run after all.
We rested below the top and were treated with this beautiful sunset. I used the Pano application on the iPhone to produce this image.
