B&W landscape

PE has some beautiful scenery around the coast. Here's the Maitland dunes and Shark Rock pier, both presented in monochrome..

Addo

We are blessed to have the Addo Elephant Park right on our doorstep.

Every visit yields a wonderful experience.

Fortunately the ellies aren't agro, they get really close sometimes...

Macro in the morning

Spent an hour photographing the leaves in the garden early in the morning before the dew evaporated..

Glitter and gold

Hayley asked me to photograph her vibrant makeup...

This was also my first shoot with my 180mm lens.

Railyard

There's an overgrown railyard near the entrance to the harbour... spent an enjoyable 30 minutes taking pictures:

PE on a Sunday morning

Renée woke me up at 4.30 suggesting we go down to the beachfront to watch the sunrise and take some pictures...

A beautiful morning in a beautiful city!

Spring

The first picture was taken at Noordhoek in Port Elizabeth. Wild flowers using a shallow depth of field..

2nd picture was taken in Deirdre's garden in Henley on Klip early in the morning.. wheelbarrow and spade into the rising sun..

For recent "dpchallenges", taken with an old Canon 20D and 18-55mm kits lens..

The artist: Renée's workspace, quiet evening with a glass of wine..

Eternal storage: an old bicycle in the cellar..

Barrow in the rain: hand held with slow shutter to capture the pouring rain..
