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.

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

Uncle Rudi finally upgraded from the old Lada and his new car rips. I tried to shoot a photograph of it yesterday after I killed myself skating but the light changed so the photo is not nearly as cool as I wanted it to be but with the little gear I had there, this will have to do. I thought I would post it just because I haven’t blogged in a while and to wish Rudi good journeys with his new baby.

Have a good weekend all. M

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.

Wow, I am getting really good at this. So many blogs in so little time. I should get a back tap here. Haha.

Shot these with Alan, Andrew and Jane from Cassette on the roof of SABC during sunset last night. Was super hard to get up there so props to Grant for making a plan.

Hope you are all having a good day, Marcus

I shot a photo with my buddy Dean yesterday at sunset just because I love that guy. Here is one of them.

Found a place to move to today. Yay, hope its alright. Will take some photos later.

Have a good day, Marcus

I was shooting photos at sunset today of a factory for a client of mine and shot this sunset and some leaves on the floor while I waited for the right time. Hope you all well, M

I shot some photographs with my friend Nick on friday afternoon at his compound in Muldersdrift and the sunset was awesome. I shot these two photos just because I thought they looked good. I will post some of him riding now.

My chest has packed up as it always seems to do this time of the year so that means no skateboarding for me for a while. Its really not that fun and laying in bed really isn’t my best thing to do. Decided to use some of the time yesterday to shoot with Dean at Skateworld in Edenvale and I am so glad I did. We didn’t shoot too much because the sun sets super quick in winter and we only got there late. Anyway, these two photos are of Dean front blunting the yellow barrier I picked up a while back. His style is so so so good. Definitely going to shoot with him a lot more in the future and know this kid is going to make it big some day.

There is just something about winter that I like. Ok, don’t get me wrong, winter in Johannesburg has it’s downers especially because it becomes so dry and brown and it looks kind of sad. I am talking about thing like how good it feels when you sleep and get all warm in the pile of blankets, drinking warm hot chocolate, cuddling with Anja and the sky. I love the way the sky is SO blue at this time of the year. Alet Pretorius actually blogged about this same thing a few weeks back and finally I shot a photo that I wanted to put up for this. Winter sunset …. amazing.

Ok, I have to admit that I have been slack and that these photographs should have been up ages ago. It’s just been ridiculously busy here and I am trying to save for a wedding so please excuse me. Haha.

I am still busy but just missing this getaway so much so took a bit of time to do this post. Basically, Anja and I hit the Kruger Park last month for my birthday and it was one of the most super holidays I have ever had. I loved it. I loved the bush. I loved the animals. I loved where we stayed. I loved shooting photos. I loved relaxing. I loved being with my girl. I loved that she got to relax and I loved being werry werry quite. Haha.

These aren’t the best ones cause I don’t really have time so I randomly selected some from the 2500ish photos that I shot. Either way, seeing them just makes me want to be back there right now.

Hope you are all well.

I have already posted a photograph of this street light before and I think that photograph worked well, but when I was shooting there again on saturday, the sky was super cloudy but so boring and grey. I decided to try something different and I shot this photograph with the white balance WAY off so that it would result in the entire photograph being blue. I like it.

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.

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

Going through some of the photographs that I have logged recently and forgot that I meant to post this a few weeks back. Sunsets are awesome.

The main reason we went down to the Garden Route was because I am working on a project for an amazing guesthouse that is in the progress of starting up in Wilderness called iKhaya. This day the sunset was incredible and I am only going to post this one photograph now until everything for this client is complete as I don’t want to give away too much just yet.

On a different note, I tested out my new Nikon D3 camera a bit on this trip and am quite amazed by the results. Still getting used to it but so far I am extremely happy but again poor for a while.

I shot these photographs during another shoot. I have this thing for sunsets and even more for clouds so I had to try and capture some of what was going on.

I am staying with my friends, Jude and Trysie, at their home in Colliers Wood in London and the day before yesterday was one of the nicest sunsets I have ever seen. I shot a few photos but don’t have my raw software with me so it’s not as nice as it can be.

I have again shot way too many photos from the trip but really wanted to put some up so I have randomly selected a few and these are them. Mauritius is beautiful and our trip was amazing. I will try post more when I get a gap but I have a lot to catch up right now.

I am in Mauritius at the moment shooting photos to push my self a bit more. Internet here is really expensive so I am just uploading one photo right now. I shot this as we got to Le Cannonier Hotel and was so excited to see that this is where we’d be staying for the next few days. Amazing. That’s it really, plenty more to show later. Hope you well and all have a good weekend. M

I shot this photo a while back with another one I posted but then I read a magazine about Black and White photography and then I processed this one and really really liked it. Clouds and the sky are so amazing. Hope you like….

I was sorting through some of my photo’s last night to try and find something as reference for some friends of mine and I came across a bunch of really nice ones from the Nanhau Temple that I shot earlier this year. It really is so beautiful there and I love shooting it. Anyway, these are just 2 that I like. Hope you well. M

I shot this photo skating the new mall with Rudi. It’s not what I pictured it to be like so I never continued shooting. It came out quite cool though.

Wow, this never happens where two blogs in a row are of photographs of myself. Anyway, the reason for this one is because the sunsets in South Africa get amazing during this time of the year and I was racing home to get a shot tonight but I was unfortunately just that little bit too late. I thought that seeing as I was there, I had to shoot a shot while I just stood and enjoyed the last bit of daylight. I hate being the subject of photographs but this is alright cause I silhouetted myself so you cannot see my face. Going to bed now to try warm up. Is it cold-ish?

I realize that I haven’t ever put photo’s of my little girl up yet so I had a look back through my thousands of happy snaps with her and found this one that I know we both really like. I shot it last year on the beach at Langebaan lagoon during sunset. Isn’t she the cutest…….

Last night we did a quick shoot in the Revolution Warehouse for the start of our skateboard tour that we are doing in the next few days. Anyway, the sunset there is always so beautiful and joburg just always looks so clean. I love it. Well, I shot these two photographs of the skyline with the sun from inside the warehouse through some fencing. I liked it.

I have decided to try and use a blog instead of my current site to show off the work I do, hoping that it will force me to update a lot more. Anyway, this weekend the sunsets here in Johannesburg were amazing and I was lucky to have seen them, let a lone shoot them. Here are some of the ones that I shot. I hope you enjoy them.
