[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a shot I took on a weekend trip down to Cape Town. I went on the "two oceans" route all the way from Muizenberg on the Indian Ocean side right round to Camps Bay on the Atlantic Seaboard.
This is the lovely town of Hout Bay, famous for great food and sailing and spectacular landscapes(seascapes!?).
This specific shot was taken on a lovely sunny(but windy) day from Chapmans Peak Drive down to the town and the bay. I included some foreground just to give a sense of perspective.

Technical : shot on "landscape mode" on D80; no alteration apart from resizing for site requirements.

Hi Niel,
This is a very nice scene with a great POV. I like how you've capture the circle of the bay with smale corner of land on the bottom. You should take care of the horizon which is a little bit tilted to the right. The colors and sharpness are excellent with a beautiful sky. Well done.

I like the wide, expansive feel to this one Niel. I think you used the foreground to your advantage in accomplishing that feel.

How do you like your D80? I'm thinking of buying one.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Niel

Only people who have been on this root will know how stunningly beautifull this place really is, and you have captured Hout Bay beautifully.

Hey there, i have recently discovered how beautiful your country is. This is a great shot of what is almost impossible to capture. The landscape mode does the sweeping views just. I love the way how the heavens, the mountains and the oceans are in harmony here.
Great shot.
TFS!

Beautiful shot Niel.
I like the composition and the blue colour.
Houtbaai is een van my gunsteling plekke.
Goed gedoen,
BEN

A reference shot of this area and maybe all you need here is somebody looking out over it... stunning colors

Hi Neil,
This is the view I was hoping to see - no such luck for me - raining, dark and grey.
So now I just enjoy your picture.
