I havent posted in ages but i thought I would just chuck up a few shots from my recent trip to South Africa.
They were all done with my D80 with a Sigma 18-200mm 3.5-6.3 DC lens.

Be brutal in your comments.

I realy like #'s 1,2 and 4.
#3 IMO is spoilt by mum holing a bum pack. Bit modern looking with traditional dress.
nice work Harry.

Where exaclty in South Africa were these taken?

Nice Pictures, for me the two standouts are 2 and 5.
My guess is these were taken in the Cape Region. Am I close?

#1 and #5 are my standout images as they have a lot of oomph the others are nice from a documentary standpoint but I feel wouldn't work as well as stand alone images in their own right.

Some excellent photos there. I love 1 and 2, and especially 1. It has a great feel to it.

Thanks for the feedback.
Alpha,
My aim in those was a sort of National geographic style.

Monty and Mal,
None of these were taken in Cape town, or close to Cape Town, although I was there for a long time and I have plenty of shots from there.
These are from Natal near Durban and number one was from Johanesburg Airport.
I'll post some more recent shots from London/Paris soon, I am currently in London, about to set off on a Contiki tour through 8 cities.

I was going for the Cape Region because of the green vegetation in the shots.

Damm I should have known that airport railing

Spent many an hour looking out over that tarmac

I go in and out of Joberg twice a year for work.

I just love #1, but cant help thinking it would look even better with a tighter crop at the end of the railings both L & R.
