Picture Perfect :-)

Over the past weekend I did a beginners photography course, through a company called Photographix International, that I had bought on Wicount (one of the most incredible online buying sites, that I have become unashamedly addicted to.) It was a two day course, where the first day covered all the theoretical knowledge we needed to know about different types of cameras, shutter speed, aperture, composure of pictures etc. The second day we went to the Walter Sizulu Botanical Gardens in Roodeport (which is like a piece of heaven on earth), where we got a chance to put our theoretical knowledge into practise.

Below are some of the photos I took at the Botanical gardens 

 

It was such a beneficial course, especially for someone like me who loves photography but fears the complexity of it. If you are interested in checking out the photographer who runs this course, Brendin Olivier, or his website, click Here for more information, or contact him on 071 545 8881.  

Art Imitating Life

Recently I have become quite interested in anything photography related...and I have grown very curious but fond of the effects of Photoshop. Unfortunately I have very limited skills in both photography and Photoshop, but I do hope to improve these once I receive my birthday present from Coates. Rumour has it, it is an awesome 3D digital Sony camera...but we'll have to wait and see :-)

But for now I can only admire the talent of other photographers, and share with you the innovative and beautiful shots below. These are more than just photographs, but rather ART!!!
