We will be staying with our friends, Nik and Keli, for a while so that we can find our feet and I shot some photographs at the station yesterday while we made our way into London Town for the day. The weather is PROPER cold but it really feels good to snuggle up all warm. These are just a few photographs. Might be quiet until I sort all my gear out again.

We flew out of South Africa on New Years Eve and it was a really good flight. Emirates rules on the entertainment side and it makes the flight feel really short.
Anyway, we have arrived in London safely are are both really excited. LOTS to do but we are cracking already. Hold thumbs and all the best for the new year ahead. Thank you to everyone for your warm wishes.

As I keep mentioning, we are moving to the UK at the end of this month and I decided to take my misses to the Kruger National Park for 8 nights to go and enjoy what Africa is all about and shoot some photographs and really just relax. It is ALWAYS the best time.
These are a few of the photographs. I shot about 900 and do not have time to sort through them so am just uploading these for now. I know I have a bunch of better ones and some really amazing sunsets and skies but I just wanted to get something up.
Hope you are all well and getting excited about the Christmas time.
Keep well as always, Marcus

As anyone who follows my work will know, I have a thing for sunsets and they sky and clouds. I nag my poor wife everyday to look at the sky and I can see her expression everytime. Today though, I felt like I should really make sure she looks and she agreed, it really was one of the best skies I have ever seen before. If only we were in the bush or something. Anyway, I shot these 4 photographs of the sunset as well as a super cool panoramic which I will post when I have stitched it.
Have a super week, Marcus

I have been shooting quite a few photographs with my lomo cameras to play around and really love the way that they come out. I had a bunch processed yesterday and thought that I should post these three of us driving because they are my favourite. Explore lomo photography if you haven’t, it’s really fun and anyone will love the results.
I shot these with a Lomo Supersampler.

Man o man, I am loving the sunsets lately. They are SO strong and so beautiful. This is from tonight. Love it love it. Apologies for shooting so many sunsets lately, hope I am not boring you.

Another scene on our ride to the dam. I loved this and really wanted to shoot a bunch more photographs of it but I ALWAYS feel so bad shooting photographs of people in their daily routine because I don’t want them to think that I am thinking I am better than them. Not sure if that makes sense.
Anyway, have a super week. Marcus

I was driving with Rudi this afternoon and the sunset was really amazing. I was so upset because I never had my camera with me which is always the case when there is an amazing sunset or something worth taking a photo of. Rudi had his with him in the car so I convinced him to let me shoot a photo with it so that I could update my blog because I really want the updates on here to become a lot more consistant.
I promised that I would say that this picture was taken with a Canon Eos 30D with a Sigma 10-20mm lens. I was really interested to see how the Canon Raw images come out and how it is to work with them and I can honestly say that I like this a lot.
Anyway, that is my boring story for the day. A few of us are going to do some offroading tomorrow and I am hoping to shoot a bunch of photographs which I will post if I do.
Hope you are all well as always, Marcus

My new wife and I are moving to the UK at the end of this year and we had to find a place to live for the next two months. We made a super cool little home and are loving living there together. This is the sunset from yesterday.

I just got back from honeymoon with my beautiful misses (Anja) and we had a super time away. I know this may sound really crazy but I decided to REALLY take time off and have a proper break so I left all my camera gear at home. We ended up seeing so much cool stuff worth photographing so I ended up actually just regretting my decision. I took some happy snaps with Anja’s point and shoot but its hard not being able to change the settings and having to rely on the scene modes. Haha. Was a good time regardless and now I am DYING to shoot again.
