Paarl ain't for Sissies

A few friends and I went riding in Paarl. It was super hot especially considering all the cold weather we have been having lately. Not too much riding went down, but there are some really awesome buildings in Paarl and radical Skies, I happen to like both.

Clemi Pulled this perfectly. He literally did the entire rail My friend Adriaan Inherited a rad TLR Medium Format Camera recently. I know this has been done a million times before but I always wanted to try it. Jacques hurt himself before he stuck this clean, he came really close though

Clemi Kinker

This is a shot of Clemi doing a really ugly rail. It kinks inwards and downwards. He took a few diggers but pulled it perfectly despite an irate salon owner informing us it was "Private Property".

Botswana/Zambia

Here are a few pics of a 4x4 trip my dad and I did last year up to Botswana and Zambia. It was amazing, everything from the remote locations to wildlife to the local people. The people in Botswana and Zambia are extremely friendly despite having very little. A trip up there really humbles one, and makes you grateful for what you have.

This picture is of a guy called 'Salt'. He's a legend and really fits the phrase "Salt of the earth".

I woke up early the one morning to be greeted by this sunrise. It was a little nerve-racking being all alone while taking this with wild animals around.

The Road in Moremi. From the Gate of the park to camp was 42Km, it took us just under 8hours to get there.

While staying in Moremi on the Okavango Delta, a Huge Male Elephant came through the camp, no fences, no rangers. At one point he was about 3 metres away from me, it was one of the most awesome and scariest experiences of my entire life.

UCT and Body Ink

I took this shot at UCT last night. It is nothing really, I was just helping a friend with a project. It was a 30 second exposure and came out pretty clean considering the D200 is supposed to be noisy during long exposures.

Ian and Harold went to George this weekend and they each came back with these little beauties. Here is Ian's marking still fresh with blood. The bottom pic is an idea I want to build on in the near future.

Fisheye's and Mirrors

Not too much I can really say about this pic other than I really like my fisheye lens and cows are weird animals.

I am a sucker for the sun behind the clouds. The mirror shot was taken while I was driving because I was in a rush to get home and there was nowhere to pull the car over. I am pretty happy how it turned out anyway.

Fields of Fun

Here are some pics I took the other day in the Canola Fields. It was pretty much my first time taking photo's of people. I brought some friends along, Kristen for the beauty and Phil for ... well he brought some Frank along. The whole thing was super relaxed and all the shots were spontaneous, the day was fun and can pretty much be summed up in this first pic.

They say you can judge a person by the friends they keep.

This pic doesn't say much for me.

Sequential Captures Unite

I worked on this old shot today, it was my first time stitching a sequence together. I am not generally a big fan of sequence shots, but every now and again they can look alright. Look at my dumb luck on this shot, everything timed where it should be, Lucky days. Also notice the Moiré Phenomenon, weird.
