The Otter Trail 2012: Photo album

ByDMcA

For years I have been wanting to go on the Otter trail – probably the most famous trek in South Africa, and certainly one of the world’s great coastal trails.  Thanks to some great organizational work by M*rtin, four of us walked the trail last week.  A magnificent experience, with great company, and incredible seascapes.  I took only the little Fuji camera, and it performed brilliantly, particularly in areas of high dynamic range.  I took around 400 photos, and using Lightroom was able to process 120 in double-quick time.  There are around 60 in the gallery below.  They are best seen in Full Screen mode – press FS in the bottom right corner of the box to get this.  For an auto slide show press SL.  And for info, press the little ‘i’ in the top right hand corner.

    “On learning the latest results from the precision travel scales”. Closely modelled on Goya’s very similar black painting. I had a nice short visit to the Prado today.  It is so vast that without care a trip here becomes a pleasure-free grind. I love most of all, the Velazquez, the El Greco, and the Goya…

  • Mandela’s Funeral

    Back again after a longish hiatus (explained below), with shots that capture the emotional scene of Mandela’s funeral, last December in Cape Town.     Apologies for yet another extended and unexplained absence. This time, travel plus a slight diversion into alternative sources of photo publishing has been the reason.  In the last few months…

    Click to enlarge Another Shot from Bo-Kaap. This is again untweaked – these are the colours straight from the camera. I broke my usual rule on not photographing people on mobile phones with this shot – because the colours worked, and the phone is not visible, indeed it could just be his finely turned calves…
