Well time is passing so quickly and with Covid-19 varianrs still with us, I have not been able to do any workshops at all and only been able to teach Back to Basics from my home.
With the less pollution in the air, I have observed we have had some lovely sunsets and cloud scapes. Also I have notice some plants in my garden have bloom for the first time in a while. Different insects are miving around as well. Birds also are moving around with less air traffic.
But as a photographer we always see something to photograph or make a photo of as we have to think more out of box than usual.
Have a blessed festive season and may 2022
Bring in a year of good health and happiness to all my photographic friends and God Bless

What time we have had in nearlt two years of fighting Covid-19 and its variants. Having had our complete at the momet vaccinations and maybe we all will have to go for boosters, we will have to wait and see what happens.
We all have had to at first confine our photography to our home 🏡 and had to really start thinging out the box to get ideas to make photographs.
My photography has been confined to my home and often on my phone as I take my dog Maya for walks around the garde so she gets exercise. I have notice as time as moved on and the pollution in the air is much less because of less cars at one time but especially with air traffic. We have had some lovely sunsets, lovely cloud scapes and seeing more different birds and insects that we have not seen for a long time. My plants are doing better in the garden as well and of course we have been blessed with lovely rain lately.
If you are going away over the festive season travel safe and have a bleesed time and rest and thank the Lord for keeping us safe over the past year and in the New Year of 2022.

We are hours away before the dawn of 2021
We leave 2020 with lovely memories and also we sad memories of all the people who dierom Covid-19 and our hearts go out to their families friends. We have been trying to keep our hobby on track and to help us falling into the trap of getting depressed. We must also remember the dedication and strong determination of ALL HEALTH Working.
Maybe we should dedicate a time in our world of photography to show we do care and they are never forgotten.
I and Ryan have decided that in 2021 we will not be conducting and Destinations away until we have all been vaccinated for Covid-19 and been given that clearance that we can still go ahead and teach you out in the field.
God bless and keep yourself safe and healthy.
Happy 😊 clicking in your garden.

Hi Friends
At the moment being under Lockdown we have to either look at our folders of memories we have taken. Sometimes it is a good thing as we look at our photographs with different eyes.
I have to advise you that our workshop to Mkuze Game Reserve 14-17 May 2020 will also be cancelled not only because it is soon after the new unlock down date but we have had no interest in this workshop.
It is a lovely reserve in Northern Kwa Zulu Natal. To sit at a hide and watch the coming and going of animals and birds and you do not have to have a very long lens. People who have a 70-300mm lens can get some lovely images.
The way this Covid-19 is moving at the moment it is the lull before the storm.
Stay home and safe and try using your garden to get some lovely images.
I have been trying to and God bless you all

Well we have had to cancel our Clarens 24-26April 2020 phot Workshop because of the Covid-19 virus. We come out of quarantine a week before we are sure to be in Clarens. Our gut feeling is that we might have to go longer.
We always look so forward to meeting and working with you in the field. Helping you to master your camera and settings but with God's blessings we will be able to go in 2021.
Stay safe and do you photography at home and we thank you for your support.

Hi out with my phone to show you it is raining today and most of last night.
My settings were:
White Balance Cloud
Exposure compension +0.03
I am trying to teach you to use your phone when you can't get to your camera.
I have actually learnt a lot in using my phone.
Go out and give it a try.
God bless and have fun
Regards Norma

Hi all,
It is lovely cool overcast day this morning in Gauteng.
I opened the kitchen blinds and disturbed a butterfly and I went to take Maya for a walk and on my front door was a Brown Vein butterfly.
I have used my
Cell phone to take these pictures.
ISO 400
White Balance Cloud
Zoomed in and check focus and took these photos.
I like to try not only my camera, I also use a lot my Cell phone camera as well.
