Can’t get over how sharp this Nikon 1.4x teleconverter is on the 200-500mm. This is a heavy crop (I didn’t get any stunners today) and I could have gone further because all the detail is there.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-05-28-today-was-another-perfect-winters/ Tue, 28 May 2024 18:37:59 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-05-28-today-was-another-perfect-winters/ <div class="swiper carousel-container"> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="18024321221168501.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17941451831820387.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-button-next"></div> <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div> <div class="swiper-pagination"></div> </div> <p>Today was another perfect winter’s day in Cape Town. The end of May had absolutely no business being this hot and sunny. My dad and I went to Kirstenbosch for lunch and lugged big lenses to photograph sunbirds because - to top it off - the aloes were flowering in blazing Technicolor, making a feast for the wee nectar suckers. It was simply too hot… in May… to stay long photographing them in the sun.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2019-07-27-a-lobster-boat-cruises-to/ Sat, 27 Jul 2019 09:50:42 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2019-07-27-a-lobster-boat-cruises-to/ <p>A lobster boat cruises to a halt in Kalk Bay Harbour yesterday.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2019-07-27-yesterday-was-a-good-winter/ Sat, 27 Jul 2019 09:48:02 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2019-07-27-yesterday-was-a-good-winter/ <p>Yesterday was a good winter day to dry off and catch some sun.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-07-10-and-famous-skitten-aka-fatty/ Tue, 10 Jul 2018 12:37:55 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-07-10-and-famous-skitten-aka-fatty/ <p>And Famous Skitten (aka Fatty) is enjoying a relaxing time in her Gryffindor common room in Mogwarts Castle.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-07-09-a-fierce-looking-man-with/ Mon, 09 Jul 2018 13:59:40 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2018-07-09-a-fierce-looking-man-with/ <p>A fierce looking man with a heart of gold and a brain like a finely tuned machine.

It’s come to be a regular thing - the weather turns perfect for a fortnight in the middle of winter every year. Temperatures around 23 degrees (don’t know what that is in barbarian units) and glorious sunshine bathes our little cottage in Observatory.</p>
