“Everything is so alive, that I can be alive. Without moving I can see it all. In your life I see everything that lives.”
― Pablo Neruda
Yesterday afternoon I met up with the very talented local landscape photographer Lee Slabber... to shoot the sunset at Kommetjie's Slangkop lighthouse.
It had been raining for most of the day and I wasn't really expecting much. But bad weather is very often good for photography... if the sun does manage to break through the clouds for a few minutes... you're pretty much guaranteed to get some incredible light!
Although we both got completely soaked by a heavy downpour... the sun did pop out for a short while... and we did manage to get the amazing light that I was hoping for!
EDIT: My Flickr contact Mike Jones mentioned the one thing that was bothering me about this photo... namely the obvious distortion of the top of the lighthouse that was caused by the wide-angle lens. I didn't really know how to fix that yesterday... but I do now... so I've fixed the distortion and replaced the photo. Thanks Mike!
