How did you shoot this? There’s Always One

To be a creative photographer it’s not enough to be technically profficient and au fait with the rules of composition; you also need to be able to think leterally.

How did you shoot this? There’s Always One | All Day I Dream About Photography

For this picture I had to figure out a way to turn a glass of water upside down. A quick check on the electric internet didn’t reveal any commercially available antigravity devices so I had to come up with something more in the realms of possibility.

Lots of Places to go, Pictures to take …

On day two of the Show, the exhibition will consist of vehicles dating from as far back as the late 1890’s, to more recent times. These are the classics that invoke an era of elegance, a more relaxed way of life and a time when craftsmanship was an important element of vehicle design and manufacture.

Oude Libertas – Market

Every Saturday, our very popular market takes place on the lawn in front of the thatched roofed Mon Repos under the huge shady trees – some, centuries old (extending onto the bricked courtyard). The market offers a wide variety of products for you to purchase for yourself as well as offering a wide choice of gifts for friends and family. Jewellery, paintings, organic fruit and veggies, indigenous crafted items (where you can chat with the maker!), furniture, biltong and droëwors, fresh oysters, pure honey, freshly-baked breads, plants and clothing items are just a few of the items currently for sale. Sometimes we also offer wine tasting!

Our kitchen has a variety of sumptious breakfasts available, with the Farmhouse and Omelettes taking a definate lead.

The Saturday Market at Oude Libertas is expanding each and every week and is well worth visiting.
