A Word from our November 2025 Winners

“Lees by latern lig” Adri du Plessis

Adri sê:
Hierdie foto is een van ‘n paar foto’s wat ek geneem het vir die tema “After Dark”. Ek wou graag ‘n foto neem met ‘n lampie as die enigste ligbron.  Ek het op die lantern afgekom en my kleindogter gevra om te maak of sy lees, terwyl ek die lantern naby haar gesit het sodat die lig meestal net op die eenkant van haar gesiggie en die boek geval het. Wys net weereens hoe belangrik tema foto’s is. Dit gee jou idees van foto’s wat jy nie andersins sou geneem het nie.
Ek het die foto met my Canon EOS 7D MKII geneem. Stellings was ISO 250 en F/4
Ek het die kamera op ‘n drie-poot gehad om te verseker dat daar nie beweging is nie en gelukkig het my “model” ook mooi stil gelê.

“Red Bishop” Werner Gustav Herselman

Werner se:
Die rooivink is afgeneem langs ‘n bos riete waar hulle broei en die mannetjies besig was om wyfies die hof te maak en ook ander mannetjies te verdryf – daarom die opgepofte vere. Gewoonlik sukkel ek om ‘n mooi agtergrond te kry want hulle is meer tussen die riete of te ver weg, maar die een het lekker naby kom sit en kon die bome in die agtergrond heeltemal uit fokus kry. Foto is 08:30 geneem met ‘n klein Sony RX10IV teen 600mm, f/8, 1/800s, ISO500 en -0.70ev.
