  • 'Namaqua Chameleon hunting'<br />
'Namaqua Chameleon hunting'<br />
<br />
Chameleons are awesome! This particularly beautiful, co-operative and active specimen we spent a long time observing and photographing in the coastal dunes of Namibia. This is a wild specimen, but 'baited' (or rather fed) with bred grubs. Do yourself a favour when in Swakopmund and join one of Tommy's Living Desert tours.

  • Spectacular sunset over the 'Sperrgebiet' in the Namib Desert, as seen from the Kolmanskop Hill at Kolmanskop Ghost Town near Luderitz, Namibia.<br />
During a recent trip to the awe-inspiring Ghost Town of Kolmanskop we had the most unbelievable sunset. Unfortunately it was all happening behind the koppie, which meant I had to get on top! A gamble, but I decided it might well be worth the effort and I ran up that koppie and reached just in time to capture this spectacle.

  • 'Road into the unknown'<br />
<br />
Where will the road we take this new year bring us?<br />
<br />
This road is leading to the namibian coastal town of Luderitz. Due to the clash of the hot desert air and the cold air from the Atlantic ocean, morning fog is an almost daily occurrence.

  • Creating good pan-blur shots is not easy at all and involves a lot of trial and error, but to me it is fun and even addictive in a way. I am not easily satisfied with these kind of shots though and also this one is not perfect, but it was one of the better ones from my recent trip and I kind of liked it due to the splashing water.

  • Erosion patterns in the famous Deadvlei pan most remarkably resemble the shape of a dead acacia tree, the trees that make the Dead Vlei so special.

  • A group of large bull elephants covered in white mud stand motionless like life size statues around a waterhole in the barren landscape of Etosha National Park. A passing dust devil set the mood and provided an opportunity for a unique scene. The image begged for a B&W conversion, particularly since it makes the dust devil stand out even better due to the black on white contrast. I only wish I would have been able to direct the elephants into a compositionally better grouping and more attractive individual poses, but they did not want to listen.

  • 'Racing through Fairy Land'<br />
Herd of Gemsbok run across Namib desert plains strewn with enigmatic Fairy Circles
    VGR_20170808_1677.tif
  • Yet another B&W image as my IOTM. This time a high-key approach to a misty Deadvlei scene. I tried a handful of different conversions and it was the strong graphic result of the high-key version that appealed to me. A good example also that maximum detail throughout in lights and darks is not always important. I thought this to be a fitting scene for the December month; with a little imagination you see dead Christmas trees in the snow!
