From the chairman
Get inspired! Inspirational photography quotes are great for three reasons. First, they sound good, providing us motivation to pursue our craft.
Second, you know they're words of wisdom because people don't quote other people who aren't particularly good at something! In other words, these motivational quotes are words who belong to some of the best photographers to ever live. Lastly, these photography quotes serve as inspiration, and sometimes they can pull you out of creative ruts when you least expect it. Here is the go-to list of photography quotes. Check it whenever you feel like you need an old man whispering in your ear, telling you what to do. Happy reading! “Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.” Ansel Adams By crops Mr. Adams means an entire year's work, of course. Some digital kids might mistake it for something else. “Taking pictures is savouring life intensely, every hundredth of a second.” ― Marc Riboud Talk about living photography to the max. “You don't take a photograph, you make it.” ― Ansel Adams It's not all about capturing things. Sometimes you have to make stuff happen on your own.
“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.” ― Henri Cartier-Bresson Emphasize the word "instrument”. “Photography is an itch that won’t go away. No matter how much you scratch it.” — Dara McGrath I know many will understand this. “The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” — Andy Warhol I know this is a rather too famous quote, but its meaning is timeless, regardless of how many people with no real interest in photography share it. “One doesn’t stop seeing. One doesn’t stop framing. It doesn’t turn off and on. It’s on all the time.” — Annie Leibovitz Photography is not a job, it's a lifestyle. Leibovitz knows best. "Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst". –Henri Cartier-Bresson Of course, this was written in a time when 10,000 photos meant a lot. Add another 0 to bring it up to date. “Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times… I just shoot at what interests me at that moment. –Elliott Erwitt Need I say more?

''If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough ''. Robert Capa Robert Capa was never afraid of getting too close. Eventually it led to his end, but it also made him a legend. '' The more you photograph, the more you realize what can and what can’t be photographed. You just have to keep doing it. ''Eliot Porter It's a thing of personal development, but you'll get it eventually. " Which of the photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow. " Imogen Cunningham Cunningham probably knew he was never going to feel content with his work as long as he could still create. "Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding still. " Dorothea Lange One of the few things that has remained unchanged throughout the history of photography is its unique ability to freeze time. "Look, I'm not an intellectual - I just take pictures. " Helmut Newton The world would be a much better place if more photographers were this humble. "Don't pack up your camera until you've left the location.” Joe McNally Always be prepared because unique opportunities won't wait for you to take your camera out. "Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships. ~Ansel Adams" Some photographers will be shocked to find out that editing techniques are a lot older than Photoshop "“All the technique in the world doesn’t compensate for the inability to notice.” – Elliott Erwitt "Good eyes" will take you far in this line of work, in case you haven't already noticed that
"When people ask me what equipment I use – I tell them my eyes.” – Anonymous This is the only anonymous quote on the list and it’s here because it carries a lot of weight "I guess I’ve shot about 40,000 negatives and of these I have about 800 pictures I like.” – Harry Callahan That's one good example of the ratio between how much you must shoot to get good stuff. Keep on getting inspired by the accomplished greats in photography, and keep those shutters clicking!

On the road
Marie and Johan Botha
On December 7th, 2017 we embarked on an adventure of a lifetime when 4 vehicles left Boksburg for
Angola. Three days later we met up with the rest of our convoy as well as our guide, Martin le Roux, at
Ruacana.
The border crossing into Angola took more than 3 hours. Patience! We crossed a historical Bailey Bridge,
also called the Bridge of War, that was erected by S.A. soldiers. (photo 1) All along the way you could still
see remnants of the Bush War. We stopped at a military camp where saw the Mine Wolf that was used to
sweep for landmines. (photo2) As there is no Caravan Parks or camping facilities in Angola we bush
camped every night. In Cahama we visited a Cuban Gravesite and a Cuban Monument opened by Fidel
Castro after the war. Cahama played a big role in die Bush War. We then visited an old Army base where
T64 and T62 tanks as well as lots more Russian tanks were just left. This is now a playground for the local
children. (photo 3) We also paid a visit to the Cuban HQ and here we could climb down into the
underground bunkers built by the Cubans. (photo 4)
1. 2. 3. 4.
Our next stop was Lubango. On the outskirts of Lubango we visited an “Anorthosite” mine. (photo 5) A
course grained Crystalline rock. We stopped at a Cucashop (shebeen) for an ice-cold Angolan beer. (photo
6) That night we slept high on the cliffs overlooking the Leba Pass. (photo 7) There was no fuel in Lubango,
so we drove down the Leba Pass and headed for the coast and the town of Namibe where we got fuel only
after the third garage and a long wait in the queue. (photo 8) From Namibe all the fuel is distributed to the
whole of Angola.

From Namibe we drove north all along the coast to Luanda. We saw beautiful cliffs and sandstone
formations along the beach. We stopped at Dombe Grande, an oasis in the desert, and got to fill our water
cans with sweet fresh water. (photo9). We drove on through lush green forests of Baobab trees and made
camp in the middle of road still under construction to be awakened by bulldozers. We crossed the Kwanza
River (the only tollgate in Angola) into Luanda where we visited their Military museum. They have a display
cabinet for Wynand du Toit, the South African that was held captive after the war ended. Our next stop
was 30 km north of Luanda at Barra do Dande. Again, we slept high on the cliffs overlooking a ships
graveyard. (photo10&11) With the independence of Angola the Portuguese were given 48 hours to leave
Angola. Most of the boat owners could not get diesel for their boats and decided to drive into the sea and
then turn around to make up speed and then to beach their boats. The boats that had diesel then picked
up the crew of the beached boats. They reckon there must be about 57 boats. From here we turned South
again and crossed the Lucala River to see the Calandula Falls. (photo 12) This is the 2ndbiggest waterfall in
Africa. Vic Falls is the biggest. Our next stop was Huamba where we visited the bombed house of Dr. Jonas
Savimbi. (photo 13) On our way south we slept in a ploughed mealie field and were awakened by the
farmer coming to work the lands with his team of oxen. (photo 14)
9. 10. 11.
12. 13. 14.
Back in Lubango we paid a visit to the Christo Rei looking out over the City. (photo15) This is a replica of
the Statue of Christ overlooking Lisbon in Portugal. Still low in fuel we were rationed to only 50 litre fuel
per vehicle. We drove down the Leba Pass again back to Namibe and prayed that we would get fuel or else
we would not be able to continue our trip and could be stuck for days. Prayers were answered, and we left
for Tombua, the last stop to fill up with fuel and fresh water before we entered the Iona National Park. We
made camp in the desert and the next morning we entered the Park on our way to the notorious Death
Acre. (photos16&17) This is an extremely hazardous stretch of beach driving between the ocean on your
right and the high dunes on your left and can only be driven from north to south and at low tide and if you
get it wrong you are stuck and nowhere to go. This road is approximately 170 km long and ends at the
mouth of the Cunene River mouth. The last stretch of the road widens up nicely, so we got to play in the
dunes. (photo 18)

The last stretch was a 240km route through the Angolan side of Kaokoland and it took us two and a half
days to drive to Ruacana where we all said our goodbyes, and everybody went their separate ways.
We left for Kaokoland in Namibia and the dry (or so we thought) river beds in search of the desert
elephants.
We got stuck in a muddy riverbed and never saw the elephants. (photo 19)
19.
Angola is a Beautiful country with very friendly people and well worth a visit, but not without a guide. Our
biggest problems was the language, they only speak Portuguese, the driving on the wrong side of the road
and the potholes!!!

In digital world of photography editing, post production, retouching, or simply post-
processing appertain to work that is done on the images after they have been captured by
the camera. We have gathered information about the photo editing terms and their
difference.
In digital world of photography editing, post production, retouching, or simply post-
processing appertain to work that is done on the images after they have been captured by
the camera. Nowadays there are many ways to make your photo look extraordinary and
suit all modern requirements. Image editing programs such as Photoshop CC, PixIr or Acorn
often offer basic automatic image enhancement features as correcting colour and
brightness, red eye removal, sharpness adjustments, and zoom features.
Image editors also have a possibility to create new components of the photo. These
changes can be artfully made using painting tools, eraser tools and drawing tools.
Professional photographers often use human powered online photo editing service. We
have gathered information about photo editing terms and their difference not to be
confused creating order.
Editing
Many people mixed up image retouching terms saying that they have the same meaning.
But it is not true. Photo editing is the process of correcting an original photo to create a
masterpiece. Many dictionaries describe the word `editing` as revising or adapting of
13
photos for publication or presentation. It does make sense; we often use it not only for
fixing family photos but also for publications in magazines, newspapers or advertising.
First and utmost it is selecting images to be edited. When you deal with this kind of picture
changing, you can assume the next measures: simple light or colour adjustment,
sharpening, removing stray hairs, changing the background, removing an object
accidentally left on set, adding an item into the picture, getting rid of zits, editing model`s
size or even use photo restoration services if it's needed. Without doubts, these touch ups
are necessary to be used for each photo.
It should be said that image file editing depends on the post-processing editor. There are
enough techniques in one of the greatest industry editing leaders, Adobe Photoshop, in
which photographers can retouch their pictures completely in different variations. Also,
there is a huge list of filters, plug-ins which can also be added to the original software
installation.
Retouching
When we are talking about retouching, sometimes called airbrushing, it is easy to become
confused about its meaning. Initially, people said it being used only for film making,
secondary, they called it the function that was not for digital work on a photo.
Nevertheless, this term describes the process of enhancing an image. According to
retouching functions we can name removing suddenly appeared face of the stranger and
other things and manipulation, moving the object `physically`, using filtering or blur, taking
care of red eye or other photos post processing technics.
14
Many glorious advertising and model agencies use retouching methods to work over
obvious imperfections and flaws of the face and body, to correct the skin, pores, and
blemishes like pimples and scars. Even the fashion representatives, although gorgeous,
have their flaws as well. One more prominent feature of this process is the fact that some
photo re-touchers may also make a photograph subject look slimmer. This may exist on
certain parts of the face or body, such as the chin or legs, or it may be required on a
subject`s entire body. Retouching is harder and more difficult to make than editing, it is
most likely to be used in creating arty-crafty pictures.
Post Processing VS Post Production
These terms are absolute synonyms. At the same time, they can be interchangeable. Post-
processing implies darkroom-like activities on the image. This would include sharpening,
cross-processing, etc. Minimal post processing should be present on each digital image. It
works with everything from simple whole-image adjustments to detailed per-pixel touch-up
work. Especially when you shoot RAW, make it a rule using post production photography.
Small corrections in curves, levels or saturation will transform your picture to a `bonne
bouche`.
In plain English, post processing is addition or removal of objects in the frame. To this
category cloning out things and face retouching techniques for glamour pictures will fall.
15
Post-production refers to the targets that have to be completed or executed after the
shooting ends. Besides, it is the last step in photo edition but not the least.
The software industry suggests a great variety of photo edition and making correction. You
will not find any image without being retouched previously. If you want to see these
corrections on the real examples, you have a chance to look through our previous article
Winter Photo Secrets: Tips and Tricks to Shoot in the Snow.
There are many of editing systems and these are increasing rapidly as mobile computer
technologies. Basically, you can buy a program which has a price from a few tens of dollars
to over a thousand dollars. These are best loaded onto your telephone or laptop
computers. But if you have no excellent computer skills, this doesn`t mean the end.
On the contrary, using web professional photo re-touchers is making it easier to edit your
photos. If you want to make it quickly, qualitatively and at a reasonable retouching prices
use our image retouching services. We have intense and diverse experience in edition in
itself, that is why we are perfect for amateur photographers, but at the same time, our
retouching services are especially useful for professional photographers too.

Pygmy photography
7 educational photography projects for kids
Susan Stephenson
Photography has become much more accessible with the advent of digital cameras, which
have given children new ways to experiment and learn. In this article, education writer
Susan Stephenson outlines seven photography projects that teach kids to think critically
and creatively about what they see.
Digital photography is available to lots of children nowadays, not necessarily because they
own a separate digital camera, but often because they have access to a device like a tablet
or smartphone.
While your kids may prefer to play games on those devices, with a little encouragement and
photography advice, they can be creating via the inbuilt camera instead.
27
Here are seven great educational projects your children can undertake with either a digital
camera or the inbuilt camera of a device. Some of these projects link photographs to
reading and writing – an opportunity to sneak a little literacy into the fun!
1. Embark on a photo scavenger hunt
Younger kids will enjoy capturing pictures from all sorts of angles and perspectives. Take an
interest in their shots and find time to comment on them, pointing out what you liked.
After the first rush of experimenting is over, introduce the idea of a photo scavenger hunt.
Pack the tablet, the phone or a real camera on a family outing and set the kids tasks like:
find and photograph something red, something with legs, something with wavy lines,
something tall, something that seems out of place.
2. Create a digital book
A great project for younger kids that links with reading is for you to help them create a
digital book of their photos. Ask children to take, for example, one picture of each of their
toys, or each member of the family. Record names over the images with a photo editor or a
text-adding app, then compile them into a digital book with a word processor or print out
and keep them in a plastic sleeve folder. Books like this not only help kids with reading,
they make wonderful memories too.
28
3. Observe the world around you
Scavenger hunts for older kids might involve a search for patterns in nature, angles in
architecture, interesting people, problems in the environment, things that make them
happy - whatever fits in with your child’s current interests and enthusiasms. Hunts like
these not only give children a purpose for being out in the fresh air, they help them really
look at and observe the world around them.
4. Analyse effective communication
Kids in the later primary and early high school years are learning lots about communication
- what makes a communication effective, and how they can develop skills in communicating
via different media. For them, you could suggest they use inbuilt cameras to capture a
record of anything they see that IS an effective communication. After snapping anything
from warning signs, to ads, to posters, discuss with them why it worked, and see if you can
both analyse the features used to make it effective.
5. Put your communication skills into practice
Once children have observed and thought about how others communicate via images and
text, it’s time for them to put their own skills to work. Encourage them to think about what
it is they want to say, and how best to say it. They can then work out how to set up and
take photos that best convey this message. Such projects can be as simple as telling a little
story using toy figurines, or as complex as costuming friends and relatives into scenes that
provoke others to think about world peace.
29
6. Experiment with photo editing
Teens may love to experiment with some of the many photo editing tools available. Using
apps presents them with another way to think creatively about a subject. By tweaking and
experimenting with settings, they can accentuate or minimise elements in their digital
photos, honing in on exactly what impression they want to give.
7. Become a photojournalist
Recording a family trip or get-together is an excellent role for any budding photographer.
Encourage kids to think about framing their shots, and to look for photo opportunities.
Having to wait somewhere is never boring when you’re busy trying to get a close-up of
Grandpa’s nose hair or a line of ants heading into the picnic basket! If children show real
interest in such a project, they may go on to write about it too, combining words and
images into a presentation for the next family meet-up. They could also combine
words/captions and images into a movie with software like iMovie or Movie Maker or make
a slideshow.
Encouraging your kids to try projects like those above is not only a way for them to have fun
with a camera, it’s a way for them to learn more about the world around them. By creating
with images, children have the chance to express themselves, and the opportunity to learn
skills that will help them communicate at school and in their daily lives.
