Durban Street Shots 2006

My first photo walks into the centre of Durban were in 2006. Here are some of the results from those expeditions.

UK, October 2004

Some pictures from my visit to Britain in the Autumn of 2004.

The London Eye at night. You're suspicions that there has been some Photoshop work done on this picture are correct!


An old renovated shopping arcade somewhere in London.


Punting on the River Cam in Cambridge.


This was taken at Clare near Cambridge.


Audley End.


Sandringham.


Some old and new London architecture.


Traditional Fishmonger.


Statue lost in thought.


Another shot from Audley End.


Coventry Cathedral or the bombed out remains of it at least!


Tramway Museum at Crich.


Another picture taken at Clare, the tractor in line with the road makes the shot, I think?

HTC Wildfire S

My latest cellular telephone which I've had for a little over a month now. It does some very fancy stuff, what this blog is interested in though is it's photographic capabilities.

The obligatory new phone shot!


A picture of Thanda waking up in the morning. I applied one of the filters provided in the phone camera software.


A minimalistic photograph of the sky and clouds.


A self portrait made using the light of my PC monitor. Also added some filter effects on the phone.


Diesel in a moody morning light shot.


A picture of my old house.


Thanda on the beach.


Thanda rattling a gate near the beach.

Another Beachfront Walk

I always find something of interest to photograph on the Durban Beachfront. It's also a pleasant and safe place for a walk.

Some lads playing football on the beach.


A couple of ladies were taking pictures of each other with a phone.


There always seems to be plenty of surfers riding the waves.


There (almost) wasn't a cloud in the sky.


Open University?
