These photos were taken on a recent shoot with Jo-Ann on a farm in Durbanville. It was towards the end of another rainy day in Cape Town, as the sky was starting to clear. I don't think I have ever seen such an interesting cloud formation.
One from the archives I've reworked. Winters on its way in the Northern Hemisphere. Not quite like this here in the UK at the moment but the clocks went back and it was decidedly colder this weekend.

Near my parents' home is a place called George Lake. It is really more of a swamp than a lake with many islands dotted all over it. The water is rather shallow, and this vast realm is home to a great variety of animals. A local senior built a paddle wheeler for the specific purpose of touring George Lake and for the past 8 years he has given anyone who wants to come along tours. He doesn't charge any money for these tours, but he does accept donations for gas money. I have only known about this for the past 3 years and have gone every year since discovering this tour.
This year my aunt and uncle and my mom and I went on a tour with him. It was extremely cold and windy that day, but we wore several layers of warm clothes and winter coats. It was totally worth braving the cold, because that day on our 3 hour expedition we saw eagles, a cow moose with calf, several deer - one with a fawn, many grebes and ducks (with babies), some grebes nests with eggs in them, and beavers everywhere! On a previous expedition in 2009 we saw a bear. So, I have a lot of pictures from that day to post (sometime). Today I thought I would show my best beaver shots. I am very pleased with how they came out. The beavers would "explode" repeatedly so I had plenty of chances to shoot them in action.
This is the last year Steve will be running his paddle wheeler, The Knotty Otter, so I am hoping to get out again on it some time this summer.

I'm disappointed with how subtle this is, but you can kind of see the hole opening in the front of the bubble as it begins to tear itself apart.
Finally the sun, after like 4 days of overcast, this'll probably last a couple and then back to jets overhead.
exploding balloon full of water not easy to achieve but we had one or two hits
will try it again! Good fun got soaked! worth the effort
I hanged the Christmas Ball on string and shot in almost complete dark on it. Fortunately I still was able to hit the catch in the Back, otherwise my complete wall got bullet holes :-)
after a few dozens of shoots, bullets and pictures i got one which i quite like
Fired the cam with a remote shutter, then frozen the action with two sb900 manually powered with 1/128 snootgrided triggered by sound trigger from smatrig 2

Experimenting with new methods on the dslr: long exposure and camera movement, with lots of post-processing.
The Chess Pieces
As one of the charms protecting the Philosopher's Stone, these wizard chessman were one of director Chris Columbus' favourite elements and were featured in an iconic scene in the first film. The statues seen here are the original sculptures many of which were rigged by the special effects team to move by radio control and even explode.
People the world-over have been enchanted by the Harry Potter films for nearly a decade. The wonderful special effects and amazing creatures have made this iconic series beloved to both young and old - and now, for the first time, the doors are going to be opened for everyone at the studio where it first began. You'll have the chance to go behind-the-scenes and see many things the camera never showed. From breathtakingly detailed sets to stunning costumes, props and animatronics, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides a unique showcase of the extraordinary British artistry, technology and talent that went into making the most successful film series of all time. Secrets will be revealed.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing new opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter films - the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind-the-scenes and showcases a huge array of beautiful sets, costumes and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular all over the world.
Here are just some of the things you can expect to see and do:
- Step inside and discover the actual Great Hall.
- Explore Dumbledore’s office and discover never-before-seen treasures.
- Step onto the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring the shop fronts of Ollivanders wand shop, Flourish and Blotts, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Eeylops Owl Emporium.
- See iconic props from the films, including Harry’s Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid’s motorcycle.
- Learn how creatures were brought to life with green screen effects, animatronics and life-sized models.
- Rediscover other memorable sets from the film series, including the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s hut, Potion’s classroom and Professor Umbridge’s office at the Ministry of Magic.
Located just 20 miles from the heart of London at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, the very place where it all began and where all eight of the Harry Potter films were brought to life. The Studio Tour is accessible to everyone and promises to be a truly memorable experience - whether you’re an avid Harry Potter fan, an all-round movie buff or you just want to try something that’s a little bit different.
The tour is estimated to take approximately three hours (I was in there for 5 hours!), however, as the tour is mostly self guided, you are free to explore the attraction at your own pace. During this time you will be able to see many of the best-loved sets and exhibits from the films. Unique and precious items from the films will also be on display, alongside some exciting hands-on interactive exhibits that will make you feel like you’re actually there.
The magic also continues in the Gift Shop, which is full of exciting souvenirs and official merchandise, designed to create an everlasting memory of your day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London.
Hogwarts Castle Model - Get a 360 degree view of the incredible, hand sculpted 1:24 scale construction that features within the Studio Tour. The Hogwarts castle model is the jewel of the Art Department having been built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It took 86 artists and crew members to construct the first version which was then rebuilt and altered many times over for the next seven films. The work was so extensive that if one was to add all the man hours that have gone into building and reworking the model, it would come to over 74 years. The model was used for aerial photography, and was digitally scanned for CGI scenes.
The model, which sits at nearly 50 feet in diameter, has over 2,500 fibre optic lights that simulate lanterns and torches and even gave the illusion of students passing through hallways in the films. To show off the lighting to full effect a day-to-night cycle will take place every four minutes so you can experience its full beauty.
An amazing amount of detail went into the making of the model: all the doors are hinged, real plants are used for landscaping and miniature birds are housed in the Owlery. To make the model appear even more realistic, artists rebuilt miniature versions of the courtyards from Alnwick Castle and Durham Cathedral, where scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone were shot.
