On saturday, Rudi and I tried to hit up a skate session. It has been super long and I am not sure if the location was terrible or if it was just me but it seemed for the first time in my life that I actually didn’t care much for it. Weird. I started skateboarding about 13 years ago and never once did I want to just pack up and leave. We did this and drove out to Nelson Mandela Bridge to try and shoot the sunset shots I have been wanting to do for ages. It rained so this never happened but we did get some good shots and it was just good fun being out there.

Yesterday was yet another amazing sunset while driving in traffic. I was behind buildings and it too me forever to pass a spot where I could actually see it properly and sadly it was a little too late to get the actual sun before it said goodnight but I really like this a lot anyway.

Yesterday we had our second excursion as the SA Photographers Group and it was super fun even though we got rained out. Basically, a group of our friends has decided to try and go on little photography excursions at least once a month and then all post one photograph from the day that we can all crit on and hopefully this will help us all to learn a bit more and be excited about shooting.

Hope you are all well and thank you so much for reading. M

I have this obsession with the sky, clouds and the sun so any sunset or sunrise is always exciting for me. I was stuck in traffic, like every other person always is I am sure, and have finally decided to try an chill out and rather shoot photographs while I putt along at 10km/h. I shot a bunch of this sunset but this is my favourite.

I also want to say that my actual photography portfolio site is starting to look like something. It is taking ages to get it done right but I am really liking it so far. Please head over to www.marcusmaschwitz.com if you get a gap and please comment on my photographs and let me know what you think. There is still a lot to be added and a lot to be worked out but it would definitely give me more reason to get it done if you like it.

Hope you’re all well and having a good week. Chat soon, m

I really like these two photographs of Anja and Simon walking around on the Nelson Mandela Bridge.

These shots are of Nelson Mandela Bridge. The sun was already higher than I had wanted to shoot these at so I am not really that happy with them. I definitely will be going back soon to try these again.

The whole reason we went to Newtown was so that I could shoot photographs of the trains and the railway lines under the Nelson Mandela Bridge. These are some of those images.

Here are a bunch of random still images taken while walking around Newtown.

I shot these two photographs on Easter sunday. It was super good to spend it with the family and just relax it for a bit. Hope you all had some sort of a break.

Sunset yesterday was super cool. Hasn’t been like that in a while. I shot these while I was driving. Can you get a fine for shooting photographs while driving a car? Haha
