The best time of day to take photos of any outdoor subject is either the early morning or the evening when the sunlight has a reddish hue and the light is coming from the side rather than directly overhead. Early morning is best, there is a difference in the quality of light that cannot be explained, there are also normally less people around. Obviously if you are photographing buildings the best time of day is going to be dictated by which way the building is facing.

Equipment?

2011-04-21T16:41:00.003+02:00

We are not supposed to get emotionally attached to a piece of equipment. “Cameras are tools” we are told.
Personally, I think that’s nonsense. To a craftsman, a tool is a very personal thing. Each one is selected for very precise reasons. If you are just making money with cameras, yes, they are just tools. If you are a craftsman, there is a joy in what you are doing and making money is secondary. The reward for what you do isn’t money, it’s the personal satisfaction of doing something that brings you personal joy.

Film - still special

2011-03-01T07:53:00.002+02:00

As more and more film processing labs disappear in some countries, others carry on as usual. Japan is one such country where film users are many.
Maybe the communities that want instant everything are not interested in the art of film anymore? Digital gives fast results on screen right away. Images can be seen and deleted on the spot. But many times they are lost. Film is forever. Film is sharp. Film is true.

New is not always better.

2011-02-23T10:49:00.004+02:00

Mass production of popular products leads to lower quality control if you ask me.
In a few years you will be able to buy a 20+ Megapixel camera for R5000($900). Will it be better then a 12 Megapixel 5D MK 1 from 2005, or a D2X for that matter? I somehow don't think so.
The markets consistent hunger for better spec and higher megapixel cameras has misguided most people into the belief that having the latest gadget in your bag will make better photos.
Lets not forget that in order to make better photos you need to pull that box that records light out of the bag first.

iPads - News

2011-01-17T09:51:00.005+02:00

The Box coffee shop in Split, Croatia will be providing free iPads instead of free newspapers. The move away from newspaper is said to be “greener,” since the shop won’t have to throw away the papers every day. As a anti-theft method, the cafe fitted the iPads with a security tag that alerts baristas if the tablet has moved far from the table.

Let’s be honest here, tech people have got to be the biggest consumers of coffee; it’s impossible to machine-out otherwise. By appealing to techies, The Box will bring in all the caffeine addicted Twitter heads.

Sandton, South Africa

One of my favorite buildings in Sandton. This is a stunning design and I will be back when it is completed to do some quality updated shots.

31 Countries visited South Africa for the world cup. We went to many games and loved the atmosphere. International conversations were taking place and I realized that during the world cup, the country hosting this event becomes "linked" and open to the world during the period and in a way loses its identity for a while.

Film is special

2010-05-04T15:05:00.003+02:00

I love the look of film. Film seems even better on images of buildings and landscapes I find. This shot was taken in Madagascar on Sensia 200. Normal size scan. It could even be scanned larger which will reveal greater detail if required. What I find superior in film is finer details across the dynamic range. Colours also seem to be more pleasing, no matter how much you play around with digital files in Photoshop.

Madagascar

2010-04-12T15:07:00.003+02:00

I've always wanted to visit Madagascar and I finaly got the Chance. I was impressed with the lovely people and the colourfull landscapes in Antananarivo, where I stayed.

Madagascar is the fourth-largest island in the world, and is home to 5% of the world's plant and animal species, of which more than 80% are endemic to Madagascar.

Go Green

2008-07-04T08:49:00.003+02:00

A growing number of building owners and design professionals are becoming interested in sustainable building concepts and technologies. The mounting attention that green buildings have attracted recently reflects society's current interest in a more healthy and less resource-intensive life style. On the other hand, this interest is fueled by growing scientific evidence that green building practices - particularly in new commercial buildings - can be achieved at little or no extra capital costs, while leading to reduced maintenance costs and increased durability.

Malta Bus

2008-05-07T09:32:00.005+02:00

The unique nature of the Malta bus stems from the tradition of local ownership of the buses by the drivers, and their historic practice of customising them. In addition to a high degree of customisation, detailing and decoration, several Malta buses also have a unique appearance due to the practice of in-house maintenance, rebuilding or modifying of bus bodies in local workshops.
As an iconic feature of the island, the classic Malta bus features on several tourist related items. As the main mode of public transport on the island, the Malta bus is also used by many tourists to visit the different parts of the island. While newer Malta buses follow standard bus designs found elsewhere, customisation and detailing has continued for these buses too.

Breathtaking Mdina

2008-04-23T19:07:00.002+02:00

Mdina is known to many as a medieval, walled city. Its history, however, dates back at the very least to the classical period, when the whole area, including the present-day town of Rabat, formed part of a Roman settlement.

Malta is calling

2008-04-23T09:45:00.005+02:00

Above: Mosta boasts the third largest unsupported dome in Europe. The Mosta Dome. On 9 April 1942, the church was nearly destroyed during World War 2. An Axis bomb pierced the dome of the church but failed to explode. The detonator was removed and a replica bomb is now displayed as a memorial.

Above: Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village, is a group of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings located at Anchor Bay in the north-west corner of the Mediterranean island of Malta, two miles from the village of Mellieħa.
It was originally built as a film set for the production of the 1980 live-action musical feature film Popeye, produced by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions, and starring Robin Williams. Today it is open to the public as an open-air museum and family entertainment complex.
