We will be moving...

All of you probably thought;  What's going on with this Photography Blog? I haven't posted for some time now... To be honest I have never been as busy in my life and I could barely breath between the photography assignments and the courses; working on average between 13-17 hours a day. For this reason, my wife Jenna has joined our full time staff. She will be doing the admin to give me time to do what I enjoy most; photography and teaching. My long time dream (took us 10 years) of having a family business has become a reality. We have been blessed by the Almighty God.

Deon who is lecturing full time on photography at one of the tertiary institutions,  a truly knowledgeable photographer will be assisting me on a part time basis. We also streamlined some of the current courses and workshops. Our Studio Workshops will now take place more often and we will be introducing a separate workshop on Strobism. We're also working on new workshops i.e. "Visual Language". Then there is also the "Photoshop Workshops for Photographers", which unfortunately, will have to wait for the second part of  2010.


The real good news is that we have registered a new domain namely www.digitalphotographycourses.co.za which will be online within the next month or so. This time around, I left the design of the new site over to the pros and hopefully the design and content wil be really refreshing. We will also be deploying a new blog at http://digitalphotographycourses.co.za/blog/. Actually, it's already online, but in the design process now and I need to fill it with content. The new blog will continue to share information about photography; whereas this blog will be used exclusively for posting client images. This was neccesary and makes better business sense in ensuring better performance in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). In other words we're starting our onlsaught to get first page and a top position on the popular search engines. I will inform you as soon as the new blog is ready and attempt to transfer your current subscribtions. Our target is to have 5,000 subscribers by the end of this year and I can really do with all of our readers help to promote the new Blog.

I close off with a few images I took during the past month on my visits to Kriel... I am conducting a photography course there, and boy, are the people eager to know more...

The images are all HDR and this time I used Nik's Colour Effex Fuji's Velvia 100 filter to simulate the colour of the Velvia film. Maybe too colourful? A penny for your thoughts?






See you on the new Blog!

  1. Personally I really like these, well done Danie! I especially like that they don't look too HDRish, if you know what I mean. The vibrant colours are the cherry on top of a very tasty cake!

  2. The third one really is something, I really like how the smoke connects with the clouds and how it highlights pollution- great pics!

  3. Danie, I think it is beautiful shots. I kinda like the the coloring. To me it highligts the contrast in the photos.
