Driving around with the old boy who is shouting at me for not using a lens hood ;D ;D ;D
(only because I fell down and damaged my 24-70 ever so slightly - but hey - it can be replaced)
(says he who smashed a DF himself... haha)
-
Hope you and your
nasty sense of humor are intact (there seems to be of no concern for the latter, though :P).

Twice :P ;D

Is it the Bear's trip or the Bear's trap?
Do show some respect (as the Bear would say) and take care of our bear :)
-
I just love that last photo of the flying fish.
-
I am still in one piece - tomorrow morning we leave on a 5 day trip to visit the West Coast flowers - so we will be 3 together - how will I survive with 2 men.....
The Bear is doing okey - well he is still alive. So far.
-
I love those fish pics!
-
Easy for you - no smell ---- no skin goo splattering around
-
Fish and feet is a killer shot, so nicely framed and great fun!

I'll pick a longer lens
but sure a fisheye image can be more interesting

I'll like to hear what the 2 men say after the trip :)
I doubt you'll have a problem at all
-
Thank you everyone for looking and commenting.
It is always great to drive around with someone else taking photos rather than on my own.
-
Nice pics of the fish ;) Is that what you call 'Snoek'.? We have in dutch also a name for a fish called 'Snoek' but I think that is a different fish.
-
I hope you're all having a great time. I agree with Fanie, that last shot is great.

I agree with Eric; good collection Elsa but this was the pick for me

Yes it is snoek :)

You can see there is almost nothing for me to shoot.
-
Oh this airplane shot or is it a comp? Now that's a killer shot......with a bit more B/G on the left 8)

yes it is - thank you for the compliment.
You better direct the space issue to Bjørn ;D ;D ;D that was his doing. now me - I would never have done that ;) ;) ;)
-
Love the airplane shot best. I love the crowding of the edge.
-
Elsa, there are some cool fotos here. Me likes that caterpillar!! And the fishermen.
I am so bummed that I couldn't go on this trip 'cause of my eye thing. All better now however.
All I can do is hope for next year when I might get another chance to drop by and say 'hi' to you!!!
-
I love the fishermen and the black giant caterpillar with the flower gown
-
Another vote for the fashionable catapillar.
Intrigued to see how Bjørn works.
-
Those flower fields are amazing!
-
He actually much prefers sitting in the shade where the sun isn't burning, and do the mundane plant documentary stuff there. Elsa provides me with ample coffee support there as well.
The Wimberley Plamp is an indispensable tool for such occasions. Thus plants can be held at convenient positions for my close-up photography.
-
That table has a very bjørnesque feel to it.
-
Beautiful Elsa!
Particularly the plane and the caterpillar.
-
Very nice caterpillar! Looks like you're having a good time!
-
Elsa, the last composite image is the best way to tell us how you have nothing to shoot! :D :P :D :P
-
Andrea - there is a time and place for everything - maybe next year is your time :)
Bjørn's bag
-
Oh, I thought it was Fela Kuti's bag...
...or it reminds me of the movie "Das Boot (the boat)".
-
Bjørn and bananas.... On our trip through the rural parts of Arctic Norway he emptied the shops in every small town and village for those yellow things. That's what keeps him going - Duracell for the bear :)
-
And alcoholic beverages to clean the lenses...
-
That is entirely Elsa's doing. I almost never touch such stuff. And never use for lenses.
-
The plane's baje wow 8)
-
thank you / dankie
-
And finally a trip to my playground - Kalk Bay
-
At last a blurry shot :)
-
yes but I battled....

The caterpillar is from Alice in Wonderland ??? And the last picture is full of surprises :-)
-
And finally a trip to my playground - Kalk Bay
Was there a stare down between the bear from the North and the bear from the sea??
-
Yes I believe its called a caterpillar - for me its a wirm :)
JA - the bear was scared of the other bear - it was biiiiig....
-
Bjørn departed from Cape Town late afternoon today.
It was marvellous to have him here - my house is empty!
I hope he arrives home safely.
