A day in the Overberg

                                         


Contrast

Eternity

                             
                                                                 The perfect sunrise

My name is Carl Smorenburg and I am a budding landscape photographer. I took up photography three years ago and with a lot of reading and help from my photographic club, Westville Camera Club, I'm getting there. I've learned a lot, yet still have so much to learn. Photography has taken me to amazing places, down cliffs, up mountains and into the wilds. I often get up at 3am to catch the first rays of the morning (sometimes I can even drag my wife out of bed for the experience, not often though!).

I find the Overberg a wonderful place to take photos. The quiet and tranquility makes me feel at peace. These are some of the photos I took while on holiday there recently. The last image was a blend of three photos using luminosity masks. With the others I used a 0.9 grad filter.

Let me know what you think!
