We were on our way home after a unsuccessful weekend at shooting astro. The weather was not in our favour, and unpredicted high cloud covered the skies both nights. After two nights of this, and the weekend coming to an end, we packed the car and got ready for the 5 hour, gravel road journey home. A couple minutes into our bumpy trip, we spotted a mature Oryx on a distant hill. I grabbed my camera in a rush, dialled in the appropriate settings, manual focused and snapped this majestic animal, seconds before it bolted off into the cover of bushes, vanishing from sight.

I loved watching this scene unfolding in South Africa’s Klein Karoo: the giraffe meandering slowly across the background; the little rhino boldly venturing a few feet from its mother before scrambling back.

This is the road to Prince Albert. A small town in the Karoo area of South Africa. The road seems forever straight, and so empty. It make you feel small and insignificant. The telephone poles are perfectly hypnotic against the powder blue sky and you notice small things, like birds on the wire because all is so vast and featureless, and still the road is straight, straight straight. It’s really kind of upsetting when you come upon a bend eventually, but then, oh, you can relax again cause there the road is, dipping into the horizon straight ahead of you.

I was sleeping in Cederberg National Park, and as I walked to my tent and noticed this magical starry night and took my first shot ever at astro photograpy. I think it turned out ok.

At first light of day on the way to Oudtshoorn from Stellenbosch, we almost drove our car in the ditch seeing this incredible mountain range. We barely managed to stop on the roadside to take some quick snaps, risking our lives with trucks speeding by in the downhill part of the pass.
