Geo-tagging is great using the files metadata, but want to scout locations and include sunrise, sunset and compass direction? Try the App from Panavision called Panascout from the iTunes Store.
Images are especially handy if you don't own a big-budget camera or quickly want to share locations by email from your iPhone. Photos can be framed applying various aspect ratios and can include voice or written notes, as well as reference video. At NZ$13.99, the app is a cheap alternative to the Nikon GP-1 GPS unit.

selective colour

10.01.10

My general feeling about the use of selective colour in Photoshop, is that it should be used sparingly, if at all, and we've all seen this kind of image so often, but I enjoy this image so much and now know why folks keep using the technique on images of these majestic animals. So, corny as it may be, I decided to share it!

This looks so amazingly like the work of an artist, Christopher
Johnston, that they could have been cooked up in the same lab.
Perhaps Imitation really is the most sincere form of flattery.

around windhoek

08.10.10

With so much to experience beyond the borders of the capital of Namibia, most visitors treat Windhoek as a springboard, but time spent in the city can be treated as an opportunity to gain perspective on the complexities of this young nation.
From the colonial architecture, to the bustling markets, craftspeople and streets of the black suburbs, time spent in Windhoek is a great starting point before exploring the wild country beyond the city limits.
Wilderness Safaris' staff, Ellis and Barnabas, know the city and people in a way that makes one get the most out of a city tour in a safe and comfortable way.
For more details on visiting Namibia, Chris McIntyre's Bradt Guide to Namibia is the best out there.

wilderness safaris | serra cafema camp

12.13.09

Serra Cafema Camp is one of the most remote camps in all of Southern Africa and offers one of the most memorable experiences in Namibia. Inspired by the pioneering spirit of the area and the Himba aesthetic, Serra Cafema is an unexpected oasis of luxury and spaciousness perched on the Kunene River which forms Namibia's northernmost border.
The camp's Portuguese name comes from the mountains to the north that dominate the skyline. The region is shared with wonderful Himba people who are some of the last true nomadic people in Africa. The Kunene River is the only permanent source of water in the whole region and the river creates a lush oasis along it's banks surrounded by rugged mountains and sand dunes.
Wilderness Safaris is first and foremost a conservation company and Serra Cafema Camp is leased from the 300 000-hectare Marienfluss Conservancy which is comprised primarily of local Himba people, one of the last semi-nomadic peoples on earth. Successful ecotourism the most important revenue earner and employer for communities.

Watching this is like being there again, and breathing in Africa at its best. Your talent is boundless, as surely that is what every artist strives for-to transport the viewer to that place in all but reality.
