[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken just after sunrise on a morning game drive in the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve about 2 hours from Port Elizabeth. Taken with a cheap Canon Powershot with everything set on Auto. As we crested a hill, this shot presented itself and I just snapped away.

BonjourNiel,
Beau travail ! Rares sont les photos de couchers de soleil ou le ciel et la terre sont intéressants !
Ici ce qui est au sol est magnifique, ce n'est pas une simple bande noire.
Bravo !

HelloNiel
Beautiful work! Rare are the photographs of sunset where the sky and the ground are interesting ! Here what is on the ground is splendid, it is not a simple black band.
Congratulations !

Welcome to TL!

A nice first post with great ambiant light. I specially like the tones on the ground, an effect not easy to obtain.
Great work!

Just shows that good pictures can be taken with any equipment! Welcome to TL... Hope to see lots more of your pics

Hello Niel,
The only thing that catches my eyes is the details of the tree branches and the colors of the sun, I guess it was a good idea because we only see mainly sunset shots and you have showed us a sunrise instead, well done for that.
PS-When we will see shots with your D80?
Regards,
Nelson

Hi Neil,
A warm welcome to TL. Hope you spend hours of happy snapping with your D80. I also had to upgrade and had to choose between the D80 and the Canon 400D. I received my Canon earlier this week. (Both excl camera's.)
You photo is breathtaking! Perfect timing and colours to please the eye.
Good luck!
Ryno

Hello Doc,

Hi Niel

Wow, stunning photo.

I was in PE this weekend shooting drag races at scrabante race course. Gee it was hot, funny weather with the wind etc.

An excellent capture of the mood, very effective.

And ... thanks for taking the time to look through my photos!

Nello Niel!

Thanks for your visit and kind words. But first

I like a lot this first post . Beautiful ambiance with the silhouettes of those trees in this misty morning. A pleasure to the eye. Let me propose you a little WS , just for fun. I hope you will find it constructive.
Cheers!
Robert

Good capture. Well composed image. Nice blend of colours and tones. Well done. In his WS, Perryhooter introduced more detail in the foreground and gave it an new dimension. Did you think it was useful?

Hi Neil, Excellent shot. Well done.

Hi Niel,
I always appreciate this sort of picture and you had captured it so well.
great composition with good colour
cheers
Tony

Hello Niel,
This is your first posting, and a good one too!
The misty atmosphere is so well captured, and the backlight does wonders in silhouetting the vegetation...
Good sense of depth, great moody colours!
Greetings,

Hi Niel

Thanks for commenting on the sunflower.

A lovely sunrise. Great atmosphere created by the mist and the silhouettes of the trees. A great reward for getting up early.

This is a great shot. Has a lot of atmosphere about it.
Regards

Hi Niel,

Very nice shot, lovely colors...South Africa really is a very beautiful country. A poster worth photography.

TFS,

Hell Niel - This is a painting from another age. The colours are exquisit. Well done and TFS! Cordelia :)))

When my camera was in repair for more then 2 month I was handed the cheapest 3 megapixels Canon Powershot as temporarily replacement - and all this with a grand gesture - However, it turned out that that small camera did a really good job (and is much easier to take along for me).
Love what you captured - you are still the one to be there and see this and then capture it to share. Lovely work and TFS
I hope the game drive was just as enjoyable!
