tech tips & miscellaneous mumblings:
I'm often asked to provide technical details of how I achieve my shots. Most of the time it's purely intuitive and I'm not thinking technical, but since digital files record all that stuff, I'll be able to supply f-stop/shutter values, etc. However, in my early forays into photography I found that info pretty useless and instead found myself wandering what the light was like when the photographer took the shot, what obstacles they found/overcame/ended up using to their advantage, and stuff like that. So, I'll give it a bash at describing what I did at the time of the shot, and the first one is fortunately easy: leave Brikon at home, take cell phone camera (BlackBerry Torch in this case, first "real" shots, and not too bad for a phone), walk down to beach soon after the sun has sunk below mountains, get nice and low without getting too wet and sandy (benefit of cell phone cameras over SLR) and shoot away... (blow wet sand out of speaker after getting too low)
Love the pics of Muizenberg - and I feel so blessed to have been there myself to share in the beauty! You are right, it is a very special place. As always thanks for the beautiful images.
