Thanks again man. Lightroom is a lot easier to manage your workflow and edit, whereas PS has all the more advanced functions which you really need to learn and understand.

 

I only really started using PS recently, in the past I only used it to blend images together as I didn't like the automated HDR tools out there.

 

The last 2 years for me were more cycling focused, I did some photography but not as much as I should have been doing.

 

The Cape has soo much more to offer for photography vs Durban or JHB.

 

My gear

Canon 5D3

Lenses: 16-35 f2.8 mk2 / 70-200 f2.8 mk2 / 24-105Stm / Sigma 150-600C

Lee Filters ND Filters: Big & Little Stoppers, and a few Grad ND Filters + Polarizer

Sirui Tripod + Head

 

No website but you can check my IG or 500px feeds. Alot more active on IG.

That is 100% true. I must admit, I only used Ps like once or twice. Should actually learn a bit from that too.

 

I see. Cape Town is such a beautiful city. I should explore more there. Will do as soon as I have my driver license!

 

Awesome gear man! Never played around with filters before, would like to invest in them to play around. I presume they can in handy for those long exposure shots? 

 

I think the like counter on both IG & 500px is broken...

Wow! Outstanding work! So beautiful to look at.

Tons of video's out there to learn about PS, that's how I got going.

 

Filters are a must have if you enjoy long exposure work. I started with cheap stuff which was a waste of money and quickly upgraded to Lee which is some of the best in the business but very expensive. Check them out here. https://www.landscapegear.co.za/photographic-accessories-lee.php?subcat=8

 

The owner of Landscapegear.co.za is one of the best landscape photographers in SA. Check him out here > http://hougaardmalan.com/

 

He's based in CPT also and runs workshops there if you would like to learn more.

I'd really like to get a wide shot of the peninsula from teh top of Lions Head, as it's going dark. Print it on perspex and mount it somewhere in the house. 

 

Oh BTW - my wife has just had some prints done on perspex. OMFS. We've got mostly canvases and what they call "shadow mounts" at home, but the perspex is amazing with the way it just gives the pics a bit of extra pop and vibrance. Especially the darker tones. Wow. 

 

Not cheap, but worth it IMO. One thing it doesn't like, though, is high light environments. Diffused light, okay. But direct / bounced light - no.

Would love to see the end result...

Need to get up there, first :P

I believe this should be happening in about 7-8 hours  :P

My OH is currently at a bridal fair in Canal Walk. 9 to 9. So unless I take the lightie up, and he's not quite ready for a lion's head ascent...

Will take the 6d and 16-35, most probably. Also the 70-200. 

 

soo many options there, you can get some nice pano's to print 2m wide. Use the 70-200 and capture lotsa data then enjoy your time in PS putting them all together.
