A classic example of how dramatic a series of photos can be, if taken at the same location, in different seasons.

Stairway to Heaven
Both these images (top-most, "Stairway to Heaven", 2011) and the next one (bottom, "Rusted Twisted Stairs", 2009) are classic examples of being the same photo but different creative thoughts and post-processing. One was done with Lightroom (2011), the other with Photoshop (2009).
If one captures a scenery perfect, with the right camera settings, one can change these images over and over again, over time....when creativity thoughts spontaneously flare up, to give different impressions of the same image. In the end, one should judge an image by how one feels about it, not by what others tell you to feel about it.
Now, which processed image is better for you? And why? ;-)

Macro Photography
Various examples of my macro photography...some with the awesome Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, others coupled with the Kenko extension tubes.

Cape Town Tourism - Flickr Pic of the Day
Some times one gets a nice surprise out of the blue. Like with this one: Cape Town Tourism chose this image as their "Flickr Pic of the Day". Okay, okay, it was last year (but I did not had a personal blog up and running at that time), and besides, it still is a "lekker" feeling of recognition, even now! :-)

I am greatly honoured and humbled that Cape Town Tourism considered this image good enough to be mentioned on their blog site that it has motivated me to keep at it, doing what I like the most: taking breath-taking images of beautiful South Africa.

Life = Cloud
Sometimes I feel like a piece of dissipating cloud (using one of my photos as an example :-)). Getting nowhere. Dissolving. No motivation. Lack of dedication. In one's personal life and career.
But at least my life is going into the right direction, with the help of gentle winds (recent life actions, support of some colleagues, friends and family, and above all, a wonderful wife, Anneline). Life is an ever ongoing action of momentum. Nothing stops, everything in one's life push one gently forward.
All I need, occasionally, is to take a break, switch off my mind, get out there somewhere in nature, to relax, to feel the sun on my skin, the air in my hair, the fresh ground under my bare feet, breathing in the nature that is around me.
And refocus, finding that gentle wind, and riding it again, guiding my cloud into a new direction.
