A Word from our May 2025 Winners

Put your best face on | Alta Oosthuizen

Foto geneem vir my 2023 projek waar ek Idiome in foto’s uitgebeeld het. Hierdie idioom is “Put on your best face” Dit was heerlik om hierdie3 foto te maak, aangesien ek so lekker met shadows en highlights kon speel!

Dit is ‘n composite van 2 foto’s in my studio geneem.

Cheetah | Danie Opperman

k het dié Rooivalk helikopter tydens die lugmag musuem op Swartkop se opedag afgeneem. My plan was om vliegtuie in vlug in die swaar bewolkte weer af te neem en het my toerusting sodanig gekies.

Daar gekom is alle vlugte gekanselleer weens die slegte weer.

Die statige ou vliegtuie met gepaardgaande herinneringe was egter onweerstaanbaar! Hulle was ook duidelik met groot sorg voorberei.

Die kamera was met die hand geneem en nie met ‘n driepoot nie. Derhalwe het ek per voet uitgezoom.

Ek moes oa ‘n klompie lastige besoekers uit die foto verwyder.
