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.

  • Salt River Sunday

    Again with some Street photography.  I chanced upon Salt River railway station while wandering around Woodstock in eastern Cape Town.  A characteristically South African location. I came across it by following some very well dressed people, wondering where they were headed.  Its a huge station, about Clapham Junction sized, in a totally obscure part of…

  • Smoke

    ByDMcA

    Today’s photo:Smoke. In between the extended periods of summer rain the English like to take their kit off, and lie sparko in the parko having a nice smoke. Shot last summer in the little park adjacent to the Oxo tower in London’s South Bank. I liked the guy’s expansive smoking style, his impressive tattoo and…

  • Notes from la Vienne

    A few observations from the parallel world that is rural France.  Including a literal example of snailmail, the age of the house, and our gorgeous new walls.   The mail delivery service is one of the wonders of rural France.  Every day the little yellow van delivers more useless brochures from French supermarkets, along with…

  • Heavy evening surf

    ByDMcA

    Just beyond these rocks is where the Noordhoek surfers go – it was pretty wild the other night – too dangerous for surfing, and too dark.  But I couldn’t help but be impressed by the power of the waves.  Capturing them is always an experiment in time.  A very long exposure (like my favorite 4…

  • Madrid street – chums

    ByDMcA

    Out in the street yesterday with  my Olympus and a fast telephoto lens.  Like so many cities in Europe,  it’s hard to see evidence of the recession in Madrid. Much more obvious in London in fact.  This area of Fuencaral/Malasana has many flourishing speciality shops. I don’t recall whether this one was for dogs or…
