August – EMOTIONS
An emotion is a feeling such as happiness, love, fear, anger, or hatred, which can be caused by the situation that you are in or the people you are with
September – MONOCHROME
October – STREET PHOTOGRAPHY
Street photography at its essence means candid photography of humanity. A street photograph is a real moment. The genre is both about the photographer and their subject. Street Photographers filter the world to share what interests them and what they are feeling. However, the term itself is inherently unclear and clunky and it can cause very specific thoughts of what it is, such as black and white photographs of people walking down the street. There is much more beyond that. Street photography can be done anywhere and people do not have to be present in the photo.
November – FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY
November – Beste Foto van 2023
Enige twee fotos wat gedurende 2023 geneem is en of ingeskryf was by die klub. Die foto moet in die jaar geneem wees. Any two images taken during 2023 or entered at club. The image must be taken in 2023.

“Verlate” deur Jani van der Merwe
Ek is ‘n leerder van Hoërskool Charlie Hofmeyr en is tans in Graad 11.
Tydens die Junie vakansie van 2023 het ons ‘n avontuur gesoek op ‘n reënerige dag in die Tankwa Karoo. Op pad na ‘n destinasie het ons ‘n paar ou, verlate mure en huisies ontdek. Natuurlik het ek en my sussie die geleentheid aangegryp om vinnig uit die kar te spring en die huisies te verken voordat ons kameras te nat word. Eintlik het ons eers verbygery op pad na ons bestemming, maar met die terugkeer het ons mooi gevra of ons kon stop om goeie oomblikke deur die lens vas te vang. Hierdie foto het vir my geleer dat die mooiste oomblikke soms opduik op plekke wat miskien nie veel aandag kry nie. En dit het my herinner dat jy die eerste keer wat jy iets mooi raaksien, moet afneem, want soms kry mens nie ‘n tweede kans wat presies soos die eerste is nie!

“Misty morning”
On an early Friday morning I was walking up to school from the main entrance. It was early, and no cars were parked there yet. I noticed how beautiful our beloved statue looked standing alone in the mist. We don’t see it like this often because it is a busy area of the school and there are usually people around. It looked different being so alone. I took quite a few shots to get the best angle.

Sacrifice
So it was a Saturday morning and we were ready to travel down to East London, we were playing a classic clash vs Selbourne College which is one of the most traditional fixtures we face twice a year. As our first team were going into play their last fixture of the year the team consisted of mostly matrics who were going to be playing their last game. As the final whistle blew for the end of the match there was a lot of raw emotions that came out of every player when Queen’s won their game and luckily I was at the right place at the right time to take a photo of Queenians holding their number 13 together as so many emotions were running through him at the time.

Ons was oppad Prieska toe gewees vir vakansie. Ek was besig om te ry en dit was heeldag bewolk. Ek het die windpomp en die sonstrale gesien en dadelik gestop. Ek het die kamera gegryp en uitgespring om die foto te neem. Ek kon nie heeltemal die kraglyn uitsny nie so toe besluit ek, ek gaan die hele een in neem om net hierdie ongelooflik landskap vas te vang. Terug by die huis toe ek die foto’s aflaai toe besef ek hierdie foto met die kraglyn in is die beste foto!.

“Divine Luminescence” by Ahmed Cotwal
I am in King Edward VII School and in grade 11.
Divine Luminescence
As I stepped outside I noticed the ground was bathed in a soft glow. I was drawn into a world where reality and imagination merge. The sky transported me to a realm where the sky is a canvas for the fantastical, where nature’s beauty is illuminated by a celestial glow. It’s a reminder that there’s magic in the ordinary, and that sometimes, looking up at the sky can fill our hearts with wonder and awe, inviting us to dream beyond the boundaries of the known.

“Twins” by Brent Gademan
I am a scholar at Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg and I am in Grade 11.
I was on holiday with my family at Lake Eland. I liked the spectacular sky and decided to do something unusual with it. The photo was taken using the panoramic function. As I moved the camera past my mother’s reflection, I paused it and asked her to move before continuing to the top of the frame. The result was an optical illusion of the reflection in a picture that doesn’t appear to come from anywhere. This is a fun technique that I use often with my family.

“Above sea level” by Mine Warnich
I am a scholar at CPM (Christian Private School) in Malmesbury and I am in Grade 5
We went to Strandfontein for the long weekend and my cousin agree to be my subject. We love taking pictures of each other and the only sport equipment we had around was a hockey stick!
I turned my phone upside down (a trick learnt from my aunt) and put if level with the ground with the focus on the subject.

“Head-space” deur Daniel Van den Heever
Ek is ‘n skolier by HS Hermanus en tans in Graad 12.
Dié foto is tot ‘n mate te danke aan Eskom. Ek het al vir ‘n rukkie aan ‘n soortgelyke konsep gedink, maar toe donkerte toeslaan tydens beurtkrag, toe gebruik ek die geleentheid om dié foto te neem. Die blou lig is sommer my selfoon skerm, waarop ek toe my kleinboet se Lego-ruimtemannetjie gesit het. Aangesien daar geen ander bron van lig in die kamer was nie, was die agtergrond vanself donker genoeg vir die foto om te werk.

“Small on a big road” deur Sofia Van Der Merwe
Ek is ‘n skolier by HS Charlie Hofmeyr en tans in Graad 9
Ons het ‘n fotografie werkswinkel gehad en een van die kategorieë was speelgoed.
Ek wou toe ‘n agtergrond hê waarop die karretjie gewoonlik sal voorkom en plaas hom toe in die middel van ‘n plaas pad. Daar was min editing nodig.

“Dragon Slayer” deur Danica Del Rio Maree
I am a member of Zwarries Photography club and a scholar at Zwartkop High School.
“Dragon Slayer”
I filled a bowl with water and placed the toy dragon into it. Positioned the bowl on the borderline of the swimming pool for the water background. When I was ready to take the photo, I added dry ice to the bowl and inside the dragons mouth for the smoke effect.

“Tidle” deur Charl Conradie
Ek is ‘n skolier by HS Charlie Hofmeyr en tans in Graad 10
Ek het die foto geneem bokant die strand van Stilbaai. Ek het ‘n paar fotos geneem maar net met hierdie een het die golwe perfek reg uitgewerk. Die editing na die tyd het ook maklik verloop en ek het van die begin af geweet watse foto ek soek
