There is another reason why the congress is being held in August: winter and dark clouds are a land - and seascape photographer%u2019s best friends. Martin Osner, who%u2019ll present a talk on landscape photography, conducts his landscape courses in winter because, he says, that is when you find the most interesting skies and beautiful light conditions. Phil Sturgess, who%u2019ll talk about photographing sea scapes, also says that bad weather, accompanied by hectic waves, makes the best photos.The famous cauldron at Waenhuiskrans (according to residents) or Arniston (according to visitors) is a seascape that most visitors have on their bucket list. The interesting coastline, with the unique rocks of Agulhas that look like needles (the Portuguese word for needles is agulhas) will be another drawcard for photographers seeking sea scapes with a difference. The iconic Agulhas lighthouse is undergoing refurbishment and the visitor centre should be completed at the time of our Congress %u2013 but, on its own, the lighthouse is a photographic landmark. In front of it, the wreck of the Meishu Maru is slowly but surely disappearing beneath the waves.There are many other reasons why you%u2019ll want to register for the Struisbaai Congress now %u2013 please consult the Congress page on the PSSA website www.pssa.co.za for updates that will be published at regular intervals.Page No. 53
