Tree Spotting - "See the forest for the trees"

Forest Vantage Point

Throwback to my December trip to the Tsitsikamma Forest. What an amazing experience to walk amongst these trees! Big Tree is estimated at 1000 years old! Makes one think about how significant our lives are...

Take a Hike

Part of the Trail leading down from Lion's Head, with views of Signal Hill in the Distance.

That Mountain

I've always wanted my own take on Table Mountain, as seen from Lion's Head. Took the path up that rock this past Saturday morning and snapped this from the plateau, roughly 630m above sea-level. No tripod, shot by hand. I think it came out okay.  

I couldn't believe the awesome views you have from Lion's Head and decided I need a panorama view to try and capture one of the World new 7-Wonders. Here you can see the cold front still over Cape Town on the left, with Table Mountain in the centre with the 12-Apostles stretching behind it. Camps Bay can be seen on the right with the ocean drawing you in. I'm quite proud of this, thanks to the image stabiliser on camera lens (shot without tripod). Quite happy with how this turned out! Hope you like it too... [JohnMcKayZA]

MyCity

I was lucky enough to snap this amazing view of Cape Town this past Saturday morning just before attempting to go up Lions Head. Makes me look forward to Winter and more possible cloud / mist cover.

I took this image during 2014 with my point and shoot camera, a Fujifilm S4600, with great zoom capabilities. I just aimed, zoomed and snapped. Okay, it helps to have a steady hand. LOL! But I'll be honest, at times I miss the ZOOM factor on the standard lens on my Samsung NX300. Thinking of investing in a new lens, or alternatively, dust off the old point and shoot for this type of picture taking? Hmmm?

What do you think?
