Roddy's thoughts and pictures at the close of the day
In September and October South Africa began to ease the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and our local Game Reserves began to open up. We were desperate to get out of town and into the bush so we took advantage of the special offers for residents and had day game drives to Kwandwe and stayed for two nights... Continue Reading →
Two of the pictures I've taken in the past couple of weeks are merged here. It's something that I experiment with every now and then and this time I've got an interesting result. The first picture in the merge is called Across the Valley. It's a shot I’ve wanted for quite a while. Taken looking... Continue Reading →
Here's something a little different - three different takes of Grahamstown's iconic Cathedral of St Michael and St George. The first is in the antique sepia style I've been using for the Grahamstown heritage series. The second is the full colour by moonlight shot and the third is a multiple exposure fantasy.

Here's the large picture that's drawn the crowds and the comments at my #NAF19 exhibition 'Symmetry'. I did a photo shoot last year of the Fountain Court at the 1820 Settlers National Monument because it's my favourite part of the building. The title picture's taken as if you were lying on your back looking up to the skylight... Continue Reading →
