Here's another of those wonderful Free State sunsets. A tree, a wind pump, telephone lines and a farm building are silhouetted against a burning orange sky following the setting of the sun while bands of clouds hang ominously in the sky.
I took this image at a place I've noted as being Schoonspruit in the Free State, back in December 1988. But it doesn't appear to be the Schoonspruit that Google…
This photo was taken a few months after the sunset photo while on a different trip. It's taken from one of the rocky outcrops in the north-east corner of the park looking to the north-west. I've always liked these wide open vistas. They provide a sense of a world without limits.
I'll be writing more on my experiences with HDR Efex Pro 2 in future posts but for now, I'm impressed with the intuitive interface and the results. You can find out more by clicking on the ad below.
Once again, at the right time of year, the sunsets in South Africa provide a fantastic display of color. This image is taken in the Willem Pretorius Game Reserve in the Free State.
About 30 miles south-east of Welkom you'll find the Willem Pretorius Game Reserve. I visited this reserve several times when I was working in the area.
