Looking
I have been fascinated by a particular view for the last week. One of Cape Town’s highways has a beautiful view over the harbor. Whenever I returned from town this week, I stopped to take pictures from a particular point. Today, I experimented a with HDR photography. HDR stands for high dynamic range, which means [...]
Landscape in Winter
I went for a run today along Rhodes Memorial. The light was just amazing. The light was that great that I decided to photograph some landscapes after the run. My favorite shot of the day is this shot. I hope you like it as much as I do. Please click on the image for a [...]
My first digital camera was a Panasonic DMC LC-1
My first digital camera was a Panasonic DMC LC-1, the twin to the Leica Digilux 2. When I bought, I loved the simplicity and classic setup of the camera. Aperture is changed on the lens and shutter speed on camera top with a mechanical dial. Interesting features of the camera are the slightly bigger sensor [...]
New Personal Work
End of April, beginning of May, I visited Los Angeles and Vancouver. I was photographing a wedding in Vancouver and spent some days before the wedding in LA. At the local BNI chapter in West Hollywood, I met the architect Todd Conversano, who I quizzed about interesting architecture in Los Angeles. Todd told me of [...]
Carry Your Sun With You
There are moments, where you find yourself in the right place at the right time with the right light as with the image above. This shot is part of an corporate assignment for a dried fruit farm and producer. When I took this photograph, I was actually looking for a large group of guinea fowls [...]

Cape Town Tourism
Cape Town Tourism is active on Flickr. Remember the ostrich I photographed at Cape Point a few weeks ago? I uploaded the image Flickr and Cape Tourism asked, if I didn’t want to share it in their group. The lady from Cape Tourism also asked me, if I would mind if they would use it [...]
Landscape Photography
Landscape Photography always has been a treasured part of my photography. Whenever I have a chance to do some landscape photography, I make use of the opportunity. On Friday, I spent most of the day in Greyton in the Overberg area with a shoot for a restaurant. The shoot took longer than planned, which meant [...]
Cape Point
I am sure, I mentioned it before, but Cape Town is one of the places in the world, which is just blessed with natural beauty. I spent some time at Cape Point on Saturday with the extended family and visitors from the States. Cape Point is one of these great nature reserves, which offers a [...]
iPhone Picture Of The Day – a favourite
I went for a run along Muizenberg beach, a few days ago. Originally, I wanted to go up to Silvermine Reserve, but weather was changing to the worse, so I decided to choose the safer option. Luckily, I did so. Getting out of the rain and wind, was easier and I witnessed some dramatic clouds [...]
Photo Of The Day
Over the last few days I started using my iPhone as camera and posted a couple of the images via Twitter. The iPhone has a lot of limitations and the picture quality is average, but it reminds me of taking pictures with a Poloaroid camera and the limitations forces me to work more creatively. I [...]
