Anticipating a trip to Zoo Lake for a bit of a walk and relaxing day out in the sun, I fetched Tee from the Gautrain station and off we went.... Only to realise that turning "left" was an impossibility.
Eventually we did what any intelligent girls would do - and stopped and asked the problem. Turns out the ANNUAL Jazz festival was taking place today and we had picked that one day to visit Zoo Lake.
Change of plans and off we went to Melrose Arch shopping centre for some brunch and a bit of flower shopping.
We then made our way to a park we had never even heard of and got down to some serious photography practice. (for me... Tee was my model)
I wanted to experiment with Sun Flares as I have been reading alot about how tricky this form of photography is.
After a bunch of test shots, I began to figure it out and snapped some decent shots.
Then we started messing about as usual and got a few comical shots too!
2 hours later, wind-swept and weary, we made our way back to the station and headed off home.
I promise not to bore you, but here are a few of the shots I snapped today and yesterday. (The graininess is purely because I reduced them alot in size, otherwise they take foreeeeeeever to download) These were all my favourites and I just couldn't whittle it down any more than these 17!
Thank you to Tee for not complaining too much - I will make a willing model out of you yet!
