The fields are turning green and those majestic storm clouds have started rolling in

Soooooooooooooooo... I'm probably gonna be attacked for straying so far off my style...

My photos usually have dramatic lighting, composition and perspective...And this is the exact opposite. barely any perspective(taken 32 x 1.6 =52mm...)

This is simple, clean, very little processing...A style I've gotta get much more used to....because....I GOT A JOB!!!

A friend of mine showed my photos to his mother, who is in the publishing industry of South Africa. She phoned me 2 days ago and told me that her passion in life is giving talented young people an oppurtunity. And I'm one of her chosen ones. She's launching a new eco/green-lifestyle magazine and they're gonna need lots of monthly photos of S.A's nature. My work will be getting some serious exposure and I'll make enough money to start investing in 'top of the range' gear...So going full frame with a 7D might not be that far away...

Oh yeah....the mountain on the right is Simonsberg, better known to you all as [link]

On the is klipheuwel and this was taken from the Elsenburg road:)

pano fo 4 horizontal shots( I cropped about a 3rd off)
Verrrry little processing.

I definitely love how this one has such a natural feel. Some have said the color is a little flat, but I think that instead the way it is now softens the picture and gives it a bit more realism. Beautiful.

i love the 'fresh burst' that i get from this picture, but for some reason, my favourite part is the blue mountain(y hill thinghy) in the background!!!
