A Word from our March 2026 Winners
“Yellow Glamour“ Alta Oosthuizen
Alta says:
A Set subject is always a challenge for me, I simply love taking a set subject image. The “1 dominant/prominent” color theme was no acception. I recently met a make-up artist and asked her if something like this will be possible. My daughter was the model and she sat patiently while the make-up was applied and then had to bear with her Mom while I took the pictures. I really enjoyed this. Yellow is definitely not my favourite colour, but I chose yellow as I thought the contrast with black would make real visual impact to the viewer! The post processing was really intensive and a long process, to make sure that the make-up was even and in straight lines. Camera: Canon 1DX Mk IISettings: 24-105 mm lens. 1/200sec / f8 / ISO 125
“Painted Snipe in the open” Werner Gustav Herselman
Werner sê:
Ek het die Goudsnip teegekom in ‘n poel vol gras en biesies net na 09:00 die oggend terwyl dit gereën het. Die voël, ‘n wyfie wat heelwat meer kleurvol as die mannetjies is, het later in die oopte inbeweeg en oor die pad. Gelukkig het dit ophou reën en bietjie meer lig deurgekom vir die foto geleentheid – dit was toe amper 10:30.
