What are we looking for?
A well composed landscape photo…. The galleries of the judges will inspire you and give you an idea of what we’re looking for. Please don’t go to their galleries and think that you’ll never produce such an image…this competition is to inspire the community to get out and see how easy it actually is to take a brilliant photo if you’re out in nature for a sunset or three.
You can enter by sending me a note with a link to your submission. New deviations only.
The competition is open for entries from now until the last day of October so you all have a lot of time. Don’t rush it and don’t enter too early because you only get one entry!
I hope we get a lot of entries, anyone can enter but there will be certain standards/rules
New deviations only
No HDR
No photos of the sky
B+W is welcome
Architecture photos are also welcome for the people living in big cities
Some tips…..
The most important one is to get out and go shooting!
Small things like slanted horizons and too much black shadow or blown highlights will count against you.
Try to get the color as true as you possibly can.
Twilight is always more interesting
Here’s a tutorial that will help with any exposure problems for people who can’t afford nd filters hougaard.deviantart.com/journa…
I will post more info on how the judging is going to work next Sunday.
So get away from your desk and go shooting!

It's Alive!
I am very guilty of not interacting with all the wonderful people on this site as I used to in the good old days. It is however impossible to try and make it in the professional world and keep your profiles on so many different communities alive. I am very active on facebook and I post all my recent travels, photos and everythings there. If you ever have any questions regarding specific photos or just photography in general then I am always happy to help out!
So join my facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hougaard-Malan-Photography/167651333269100

Another Part of South Africa
When I joined DA about 4 years ago, there were barely any South African landscapes on here. With time more and more was added of all the typical iconic places, but there's very little work of Kwa Zulu Natal on here. There's a deviant doing some great work of that area's amazing landscapes and his portfolio is greatly under appreciated. So go check out the work of ~carlosthe (https://www.deviantart.com/carlosthe)!

Updates + Win a Print
I have chosen a lucky number between 475-500 and that number person to like my facebook page will get a free print of their choice. It's at 452 now, so the lucky number is just around the corner. You have to prove your number with a screen shot that shows the amount of likes on the page after you have liked it.
In the unlikely event that people unlike and like it so frantically that I get the same number more than once, the prize will go the first person to show me the number. Just mail me your screenshot to hougaard@hougaardmalan.com
I tried to keep up with comments on images, but if I leave it for just a few days it quickly goes into hund
