I took a lot of these abstracty-y pics on my roadtrip. I just had so much damn fun travelling with my little Fujifilm camera - even though I only had one fixed-focal-length lens on it. It’s tiny enough to take anywhere. Feels so good in the hand. Trivial to shoot all manual with the electronic viewfinder. And I shoot it entirely in jpeg so I have to do virtually nothing to the pics after I click the shutter. Just proper travel photography fun.
Streaking folded upthrusts reach North into the Indian Ocean.
What the heck was in my morning coffee?
Geology pretty much stole the show. Crazy warped sandstone upthrusts in the early light. Millions of years and extraordinary pressures. And they’ll still be doing their thing when us meatbags are dust in the wind. Ok… so part of the nature of my insta for the time being is I only have telephoto lenses for this camera. And they’re all manual focus and I’m still getting used to everything so my ‘hit rate’ is not that great.
The Nahpi Boulder in late afternoon with beautiful post-rain skies. In my head this kind of scene is as South African as it gets.
