Drakensberg Sunset

First blog for a while. I wouldn't be doing it except Ehon made me. I am back in Australia now but these photos are from South Africa. All of the photos were edited by Ehon, the first was taken by me and the other landscapes were taken by a random photographer I met at a backpackers and lent my camera to. I was pleased to get the camera back with such awesome photos on it. I gave him a link to the blog so if you are him and have visited, drop me a msg, Ehon would love to hear what you think of his edits, as would I.


All of these pics (above and below) were taken at Amphitheater backpackers in the Drakensberg mountains, South Africa. Above is Cate who has been in some of my other pics and is a fellow aussie volunteer in South Africa.




There is a link to Ehon's blog to the right somewhere.

Hoodies

The first three pics which were taken at a school in Ilovo, KZN South Africa called Siyabonga (translates as "we thank you"). The man is a facilitator called Mle who works on the GOLD program, the second is a year 10 student from the same school. I asked a couple of kids to hang back for some pics after class and they were more then happy to, so happy that most of the class stayed when I only wanted to photo this girl with the hood and a boy with a couple of gold caps on his teeth. His photos aren't here and I may or may not use them, it would seem that after wanting to photograph him because of his cool teeth (he has a couple of gold caps, it is a fashion thing here) I forgot to make sure I could see them in the photo...

Anyway, I digress.

I was editing these first three photos when I remembered a couple of self portraits I had taken just before I left Australia 5 months ago. I remembered the hoods and thought I would finally have a look at those photos. Here are the results. Let me know what you think, comments help me improve my pics.
