Die reën vooruitsigte lyk belowend in Windhoek vandag. Nog nie reën nie, maar wel tussen Okahandja en Otjiwarongo lekker gereën. La Nina ons wag vir jou.

Am I out of line or is Facebook ridiculous? Beware, all Himba and San people, please change your cultural ways and start dressing up. Why, because Facebook is preventing me from posting anything in groups for the time being until their investigation is concluded regarding my post of San people who are clad in traditional dress. Facebook says that I violated their rules which is that my post didn't follow their Community Standards on nudity or sexual activity. These people were not n**e nor did they commit any sexual activity. Do the principals of Facebook not know anything about the traditional way of life of some groups and how they dress up? That means unless you post only a portrait of the head and shoulders, chances are that you violate their rules. Can you believe it? This is their way of life and I am merely recording it as such. That's a pathetic rule in my view. O-yeh! we can look at them alive but beware that the internet sees them like that. I have no words.

Dis 'n portret van 'n leeu mannetjie wat ek jare gelede, ek reken vroeë 1990s nog met skyfie film geneem het op een van my eerste besoeke aan die destydse Kalahari Gemsbok Park. Nog met 'n klein sedan voertuig gery wat my lekker lae skote gegee het.

Diere is vir 'n kort tydjie tydens die reën seisoen in die paradys want hulle drink sommer orals waar water lê soos hier in die pad naby Melkvlei in die Kgalagadi Oorgrens Park.

Can this be in the Kgalagadi? You bet yes. In February 2020 this springbok was walking in the green landscape near Rooiputs waterhole.

Blue wildebeest scent marking - ek het nou op Google Translate uitgevind in Afrikaans is dit "geurmerk". Dis seker nie reg nie, wie kan help asb?

Here is a small selection from my archives to celebrate "World Photographers Day" today. Let's capture moments in time for future generations to enjoy.

Hi all, I'm creating this "Poll" to find out what you want me to include in future photography workshops. Just type the number/s of your choice/s in the comments below.

1) PORTRAIT photography including fashion. Portrait photographers need a mastery of their camera and an ability to make a subject feel at ease. A great portrait is more than a good picture of someone, it tells their story. Get more information on portrait lighting and sitting and hand poses for your subjects to help improve your shoots.
2) LANDSCAPE photography - Learn more about the timing, lighting, and technical challenges of capturing beautiful vistas, dense forests, or vast deserts. Get tips from landscape photographers on the necessity of a tripod and which lenses and shutter speeds are best.
3) WILDLIFE photography - Learn how to photograph animals and birds in their natural environment while learning the importance of their behaviour in anticipating their next move.
4) ARCHITECTURE and REAL ESTATE photography - How to make buildings and houses look attractive and spacious when presented in the right light.
5) SPORTS photography - Whichever type of sports photos you hope to take, the ability to work in fast-paced environments with and around people is essential.
6) FOOD photography - The ability to take mouthwatering shots of food can help you score commercial gigs creating restaurant ads, menu photos, and images for hospitality websites.
7) PRODUCT photography - From sneakers to camping equipment to makeup, product photographers showcase the wares of different brands in clear, enticing photos. Explore tips for styling and editing shots of products.
8 PHOTO EDITING - the importance of editing any digital photo cannot be emphasized enough and especially when shooting RAW files for maximum image quality. Editing brings out the vibrant colours and detail from a RAW photo.

Please visit my website here to register your Photo Workshop Choices that you would like to see in the future.

Southern Yellow-billed Hornbill (Geelbekneushoringvoël) taken in Etosha National Park. It's sitting on an Acacia Nebrownii Water Thorn if I'm correct? Does anyone know the correct Afrikaans name for the tree? It's not the "Soetdoring" is it?
