Kommejtkie rockpool

A morning walk with M*t*n and P*tt* on the beach at Kommejtkie.   Walkers, surfers, dogs f*cking, families, loners, getting a mild dose of pre-breakfast exercise, on an uncharacteristically cold and grey strand. Later I went for a run on Noordhoek beach, 6km over. I had driven back, changed, and then started from the other end of what is a huge 8km long beach. Heading out I met many of the people I had seen earlier in Kommejtkie. They had ploughed on, and I wondered if they were puzzled how I had both overtaken them and mysteriously changed into running gear. They and I remained impassive, as we churned past each other though the sand and surf.

Above is today’s shot, taken in the morning on Kommejtkie beach. This time it is processsed in Photoshop touch for Adobe. The image uses three blended layers, really amazingly sophisticated for an Android app. Adobe, who make this code, are leading the way in mobile apps. Their best new stuff is on Apple. Shock news, I am going to have to buy an iPad. A report will follow soon, once the awful deed is done.

  • Morning, pristine

    Today’s picture. Taken at about 8:30am on Noordhoek beach before the arrival of many children.  There are a few things restricting my shots currently. The wind is very strong at the moment, but the skies are clear.    Sand blowing off the beach has a pretty abrasive effect on camera lenses, so its important to stay…

    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…
